I’m curious how posters here have been impacted personally thus far by the COVID-19 outbreak.

Edit: I understand most still working experienced a modification to their work arrangement and perhaps a change in job duties. However, that is for another conversation. I’m more looking to gauge the unemployment impact.

Work from home full time anyway. There have been some layoffs which mean I'm doing more work for the same money and working some looooong hours.

Was pretty far along in the interview process at a different company and they just closed the req.

Told not to come in and not authorized to work from home. I've been off for 2 weeks and boss called to check on me just the other day.

I was heavily impacted but an appropriate option does not exist in the poll. I have been requested to continue my employment from home.

Same. I'm a bit surprised OP omitted this as a response in the poll.

That would be option 1 then. I’m asking about actual employment status, not if the job was modified or not.

Combination of remote work and on site work. Slightly decreased volumes but still plenty of work at current time. Goods still have to be moved and delivered. Supply chains carry on regardless.

No option for increased work opportunities?

You may want to clarify that in the Poll. As it reads, it's asking whether COVID-19 affected employment.
