After working nearly 400 hours in the last month. I don’t blame the company I work for, they are trying to stay afloat. I fear in three months time we will be in a bad place financially even for those that still have jobs.

I’d add I’m one of the lucky ones. Many of our salary employees are being moved to hourly and there is less than half of the workload we had a month ago. I feel really bad for many of our workers and the clients we serve.
