So.. if one of us at a bank branch get it, we have to close the branch down for 14 days. (don't know why that is the magic number) The Federal Government fines the bank $18,000 per day for being closed. The Government is the one that says if we get it, we have to close. See how this works?

Was, indeed! Good thing that money doesn't come out of my pocket. I can almost bet that the powers that be.. would send you home sick, make me work from home with a laptop, and play hush hush about someone from the branch getting ill, hoping the rest of the branch didn't show symptoms. Especially when 18,000 per day is at stake.

allot of banks are splitting their people 50 50-- half work from home for a week then the other half does-- that way the virus dies on the weekend,, i guess. If somone gets it they have a whole other crew that can work.. I have no clue what tellers do from home for a week?

I have no idea why, if a business can operate off of 50% staff, how they can justify having 100% staff.

Why I suppose some staff are part time so owners don't have to pay for extra employee compensations.

I was thinking of the ones that didn't use part time staff, but I see your point.

When I worked at sunflower we used to work 4 days and get a day off as unemployment-- That way we didn't have to fire people.I wonder if that is what they are doing - or something like that??

I am not sure.

I kind of wanted to be one of those non essential employees, with the big bonus, and the time off to do pretty much whatever I wanted to do for a while. I guess the only up point is that I feel a little more job security at the end of the day, but that time off would be really nice too.

I was wondering yesterday-- If people can work from home-- and now that it is set up to do so-- are they going to keep working from home? WIll that be the new norm? I can't in my job- but for some people?

Going to a workplace was the norm, and now may not be for many people. Much will depend on productivity of those not coming to a workplace.
