    Bad news today

    My firm runs about a $350000.00 dollar a day payroll. We have been closed for two weeks by order. I got furloughed today along with many others. I consider myself lucky many got fired both professionals and staff. They are going to continue my health insurance. I am in good shape financially but this is a real bummer 4 years from retirement. This virus is bad, really bad in so many ways. Guess I will catch up on some work around the house or go teach some online courses at the nearby University.

    Sorry to hear that, Tom. I wish I could say things will be better soon, but we both know better.

    Furlough means that you will be back on the payroll when this crap is over with I HOPE.

    Yeah me too being that I am a bankruptcy lawyer by trade I can't help but think bankruptcies are going to be filed in huge volumes after this is over.

    That sucks... Welcome to my world. I've been out of work for a while and was almost to the point of lowering my standards just to get a pay check coming in. That's out the window now.

    It's a good thing we have been great savers for a long time.

    120 lawyers, 300 plus staff and I should have added that includes overhead.
