Employers can fire employees for any reason at all in nearly every state, and some employers will choose "not enthusiastic enough" as a reason why.

yeah I worked at a place that would fire people at random. Nothing says "I went to a good college and made the correct life choices" like ending up in a call center.

the funny part was that the job itself was super easy and kind of fulfilling but the corporate bullshit around it really soured me to ever working in large companies ever again.

Mine was not. It was back when satellite internet first started being a thing combined with netflix first being a thing and you were selling it to rural customers who wanted to know if their 1gb cap before they got throttled for 150 bucks a month was a good deal that they could use for netflix and their grandson's xbox. It was a scam. They'd blow through their cap in a half hour and get throttled to dialup speeds for the rest of the month, then get charged for overages.

Same 1099 boat, friend. Bills piling up. No idea what to do. Can't go get another job. And even if I did, if it doesn't have awesome insurance, I lose mine and have to detransition.

This is really, incredibly, so much, very, not good.

Yea it's pretty much game over for many, many people. If this doesn't spur mass rioting or something I assume humanity just goes out quietly from poverty starvation or something of that nature.

Wtf that’s nuts; they’re just keeping me at home. It’s technically spring break right now but even after that we are down until the 22nd.

I work in a really big school though.

Im in Korea where we have things mostly under control. There's been 100 cases in my province with 0 deaths. 55 ppl were treated/discharged from the hospital. The country is also rigorously testing/alerting ppl of possible exposure via emergency alerts. Its also the start of our schook year as of March 9th so weve been off of school for a few weeks already and the government is rolling out policies for over the internet/phone lessons etc.

still sorting out things on getting a new charger for my laptop, will probably be able to borrow another laptop we have here tomorrow, though for right now I actually hooked back up my old ancient COMPAQ Windows XP desktop to experiment a little, and it's incredibly suboptimal(for one thing I don't have Admin control on here) but a pleasant surprise nonetheless at how well it's technically working for a computer that's probably somewhere between 14 and 16 years old(even if it did get a slight upgrad back around 2010)

in fact this very post was typed on it

I’ve spent all spring break so far hype as hell and sorting files and setting stuff up on my new server, working long hours and taking very few breaks, and I thought I was just really into the project.

Well, I am, but also my wife has been making the coffee and she fills the filter up to the loving brim, goddamn y’all. I been running on rocket fuel

Spent all of tonight watching old cartoons (sorry shaman of cum your activity stream is gonna be absolutely littered with poo poo from the last hour luv u). Mostly Chuck Jones Looney Tunes. That's the certified Good poo poo. Disney's stuff of the same era (late 40s early 50s) was cute and undeniably high quality but it's boring as poo poo compared to stuff like the Rabbit Season Duck Season trilogy or those confounded Dover Boys.
