helping my brother navigate the unemployment website. His major chain restaurant announced very abruptly yesterday they were fully closing (no takeout/delivery) and he's been "furloughed" until further notice. No vacation time, no severance, last paycheck is in the mail yada yada yada.

That blows. Check around your area for anyone doing something like this:
-
Thanks I will pass that on
-
That was the wrong post, but that same organization is offering free meals to service industry workers that are laid off.
-
a chain just sent a notice - for every $100 in giftcards you buy, we'll give $30 to waitstaff.

Dentist just called and tried to postpone my cracked tooth extraction... hell no, this isn't an elective procedure. So I get to go in Thursday instead of Friday.

Belgium is closing their borders? I kow much of the EU was, but still on a country by country basis last time I saw news.

but also don't need wait staff.
My wife was told she is not working for the foreseeable future.
Do you interpret that as she should begin looking for another job? In a way those words could/can mean termination.
I hope things get better.

Not unless they go out of business.

The Schengen closes. Originally it was going to close today at noon (proposed, never official); but thankfully it got delayed and they are closing tomorrow at noon now, instead. So she made it by a few hours.
Belgium is keeping their internal borders open (France has closed theirs, though), so you can move to Germany and The Netherlands from Belgium, but that's it. Basically German and the Low Lands have become an isolated island. But overall, the Schengen border is closed, so no getting in from anywhere else.

Inside Sales, Calling existing customers, offering the service to enhance customer care and comfort by Online Order for free for 3 months. Cause a lot of these places dont have that, and that's why they're getting beat out by people who do.
Eveyrone in the industry is doing it sadly. Door Dash, grub Hub? doing it., -
