This pandemic crisis is really showing the company's true colors.. They are now cutting all the part timer's (everyone who is not a manager) hours to almost none - not laying us off, so that we could collect unemployment benefits, but essentially forcing us to take an "optional" 8 week unpaid leave (during which they could call us back at any time, or alternatively refuse to take us back at the end -
Here's the latest where I live. 151 cases, 4 deaths, 21 people recovered.Our golf courses are still open but I don't expect them to be for much longer because people are posting pics on social media of groups of people playing golf and not social distancing.

My work is on hiatus right now due to the virus. I am not getting paid as long as they are "closed" (Although full time staff is still getting paid and they are in session.) yet I am still technically employed by them so I don't think I can file unemployment. My boss sent out an email saying that we should try to find other methods of income but how are we supposed to do that when everything is closed?
The paint store where I work(ed) may actually stay open through this whole thing, as they sell products that could conceivably be used in health care construction projects.

I have genuine fears that I will end up not being eligible for unemployment or the emergency benefit because of the way my employer is handling this, and also doubting whether I'll have a job at the end of the pandemic. Time to hone my entreprenurial skills and start growing my own food.
