Are staff at your college or university being asked to report to work, while classes have been cancelled or moved online? This should signal something about how staff are treated more generally — as disposable, replaceable, less than human.

@AuthenticAvg Seriously? You pay hourly staff for the hours they would have worked or offer remote options. You don’t make them risk their safety in order to keep logging hours.

@AuthenticAvg Thanks for clarifying. I’m sorry if my “seriously” seemed snarky. It was directed less at you and more at the general idea that anyone would send regular hourly workers home without pay.

Jesse Stommel @AuthenticAvg It's happening in the hospitality industry. Wife and rest of the hourly staff are out of work for the next 2-3 months until business picks back up.

Brian Rocz Jesse Stommel @AuthenticAvg hospitality industry notorious for treating their employees as disposable - sorry for your family hope you all are able to find support in your community!
