      Rachel, that some of you met at Spiceworld last year, is sitting on the tarmac about to fly from Chicago to Brussels. She's making it over just hours before the border closes.

        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.

          Acer's national call centre in Luzon is shut down for 4 weeks as the Government has 'locked down' the area for 4 weeks.

            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.,

                              oh.. missed what it was exactly... Online ordering.. got it... Once they sign up, then they have to build the menu, though perhaps much of that will happen automatically because they are using the system.

                                  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.

                                  Here's another organization that's giving some relief:

                                    Just got word from the top that tomorrow will be the official 1st day of us working from home... except for me, I still get to show up extra early to physically check everything and sign off on everyone being able to connect remotely.

                                        That sounds like me - and the medical staff - admin staff are moving to working from home.
