No, they made their own decision to leave. They were offered a job and there is work for them to do here. THEY made the choice to leave.

​That's why I said I think it's a loophole right now, because of the virus. Under normal circumstances they wouldn't be eligible for unemployment.

Ugh, that sucks. We are fully expecting my girlfriends boss to fire her at anytime because she requested to work from home for this. She is easily falls under the ADA "reasonable accommodation," basically everyone there can do their job from home but he's forcing everyone but her to come in.

Of course, she also doesn't want to sue an employer since that will tinge the job record when she gets her BA in 5 weeks and goes for a better job.


To give you an idea of this guy, he literally fired a receptionist on her first day because he didn't like how she greeted him when he walked in the door.

Dare I ask the nature of the business?

Eg: does she work in an administrative capacity at a tiger farm?

*golf clap* well played, sir. Well played.

It's an insurance company that hires agents to help sell medicare supplemental to seniors? I think? Either way, thankfully since she's about to graduate she's getting calls for interviews with actual marketing companies.

I'm only paying for 25 Mb/s down and 5 Mb/s up. Why the hell am I getting more than I paid for?



I blame Trump.

Apparently, the average lifespan of the (controversial?) FB posts he routinely shares here is about 47 seconds. I have caught one in the wild before, but as the kids say, you gotta be hella quick.

He could save a lot of time by simply posting "All black people are violent thugs, and all Jews are corrupt thieves," and not bother with failing to correctly scrape content.

Anyone surprised?

JPMorgan says it’s not ready for small business loan applications as banks await Treasury guidance

KEY POINTS
  • A few hours before the expected launch of a federal program to dole out at least $350 billion in loans to small businesses struggling amid the coronavirus pandemic, none of the participating banks interviewed by CNBC are sure they’ll be ready.
  • From massive global institutions with trillion dollar balance sheets to regional banks and small local lenders, the companies all have one thing in common: They are awaiting key guidance from the Small Business Administration on exactly how to administer the program.
  • “They’re not ready at all, they’re desperately awaiting guidance on how to do this,” said Ami Kassar, CEO of small business loan advisory firm MultiFunding. “I think it’s going to be a mess for weeks.”
