Who is still working?

Who's still working through the quarantine? And what jobs are you doing?

While I'm fortunate we are able to work through the pandemic, I can see where this is going for some smaller companies. We are receiving contracts from other companies to supply them, while some other businesses are shut down due to the quarantine.. Some of these contracts are long term, 3 to 5 years. These contracts are to replace existing contracts that are being cancelled due to work stoppage. What's unsettling is i know and work with many of the smaller companies, that the contracts are currently with, supplying them with parts for their machines. I can see that when this ends I'm afraid these people will not have a place to go back to work at.

Our company provides support for utility/power distribution and circuit protection, commercial and military aerospace, electronics and communications including 5G infrastructure, and medical needs.

I am. I work for Honeywell.

Nuisance wildlife falls under pest control as essential. Been a busy spring so far.

I’m still working, I run a pellet mill for a feed mill

Farmer, spring planting will be full bore in about a week.

I am as well, commercial and industrial hvac service tech. But I am having trouble getting into the different building.

My company is operating at about 40%. I got laid off last Thursday. We make little plastic car parts. My boss had to come out of his office to do my Quality job on the floor. He's not enjoying it. And all salaried people had to take a 10% pay cut. Good thing they spent $8000 on toilet paper to give us before they laid us off.

If, i am lucky, next year after this idiocy is over, i will be able to claim i spent zero hours at home during this nonsense. There are wolves and there are sheep.

oooh,sheep ya say?

My day job is shut down, classic boat restoration. We run a perrenial nursery at our home, retail sales shut down until further notice and wholesale deliveries on hold, but lots of seeding and potting up this time of year regardless.

I am tool and die in pa going full bore

Working at shop & save grocery store until I can get back into baxter.

billy goats ya say?

I personally don't know anyone that's not still working.

I've been laid off for going on 3 weeks now. I'm a truck driver that hauls our equipment between road jobs and our quarries, pa shutdown all road work, and our quarries are running at bare minimum mainly for just stone sales, so no equipment for me to move.

Skunking and on call at the SO even they are cutting back on who they keep now so it’s either a big warrant or a trip to the State happy place before I get called in, I’m OK either way.

I have been working like normal , was extra busy the first 2 weeks of quarantine and the 2 weeks before it .

I make the phones ring in hospitals and have they ever been ringing.

Purchasing dept for a local govt. Im still working.

I get six months paid vacation,,,twice a year.

Working or not, please stay safe out there. I may be working but I'm trying my best to limit exposure. Not worried as much about me, though I don't want to get sick, I'm worried about bringing it home to younguns, grandbabies and mother in law.

one of my wife's friends is doing delivery within a 2 county area
started selling all of their remaining storage root crops and is starting to deliver plants.

you order online , pay with a card you can pick up in their parking lot or pay 5 dollars for delivery and they call you as they roll up to your house and set the box on the porch and go.

you might be able to offer your plants for sale delivery or pickup , especially if you add a vegetable to every order option.

still working, mostly from home.
engineering and surveying firm. we are trying to keep the number of people in office at any given time down as low as possible.
we support the construction industry, which is still considered essential here, so our field operations are running as normal with some extra precautions

Working here, hygiene equipment manufacturer. Busy here.

Laid off 3/27, winter work on ore and coal ships completed. Just waiting on the next dispatch and cleaning the garage.

Still at it...we’d be working with a Zombie Apocalypse going on. AT&T would just install Ranch Hands on our vans, lol!! The company did offer 4 weeks paid time off for those with young children, or over the age of 60, or an underlying health condition. I’d qualify for the young child, but I just wasn’t raised like that. Plus, those that continued to work got a 20% pay raise.

I work for Snap-on's commercial division. Our customers currently won't let outside vendors on the property, but we are still doing training remotely. I also work locally outside my home every day. Just not touching anyone and trying to be responsible.

My wife works in forkifts, so she is a work every day.

Daughter is a warehouse manager of a place that sells stone for construction. She's at work every day.

Joe

Still working here. Railroader going to Texas and Louisiana. Our rail traffic has slowed down tremendously in the last week though.

Still working like normal. 16hr days all week. I operate equipment at a large aluminum plant. We wont shut down unless its permanent. It cast to much to restart our pot lines. If we ever do shut down I'm good for 80% of my pay for 2 years. While that will be a big cut without the overtime it's still above what I require.

Still going here. Building livestock equipment. Running on half a crew because the other half are either guys over 60 or guys that are just scared to come to work.

Still working. I’m a hvac installer. Plenty busy

Still working. I powdercoated trailers at a trail manufacturer. We have 12 people that work so guess we dont have to shut down. I think in Oklahoma you can do what ever you want. That's what everyone else is doing.

I work for a city government. Board of public works. Things picked up for us. Now we are on call 7 days a week (kinda voluntary, but kinda not) until further notice. Before we took turns being on call for a week at a time. I'll take the extra hour at time and a half. Been 2 or 3 weeks and have not been called out after hours at all.

I'm not getting very many insurance claim inspections but I am day waging on the bigger cattle outfits and managing some feral, invasive, and predatory species.

This rural community is doing a great job of sharing resources and trips to town. Between that and some projects like my recurve bow and quiver Im keeping busy even if Im not cashing huge checks.

Hawbakers pit here at the end of my road is like a ghost town compared to normal.

i also have a dozen irons in the fire just waiting on somebody to turn the gas on.

speaking of gas,headed to dig leeks for the fruit stand to stop the phone from ringing.

Only 1 day a week for me at the school. We are helping box up and deliver 170+ meals to our elementary students (breakfast and lunches). The rest of the day I spend trying to do my regular maintenance work. Got the grass mowed at the school Monday...that took 6 hours just to do around the building. Ballfields and bus garage I hope get done by one of the other guys or its going to get out of control.

I’m on my first paid 6 month vacation, second one starts July 1st.
Bass are hitting hard

Me. At least for now. Maybe not if things get worse. Quite a few positive cases in town last couple days. If word comes in that it's being found in the plant (down to less than 1000 now working) i will opt to stay home.

I’m still working....indoor cultivation.

I am still working, albeit from home, as an Employment and Training Specialist for the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development. I play a part in processing folks making Unemployment claims so with over 90,000 new claims just last week, my job is busy but stable. I hear some remarkable stories from folks, some very sad, so I do my very best to instill optimism and encouragement to folks during this time. I also offer them job searching and resume suggestions to help them during this time and to help them prepare for the bright future that will be there when this whole thing subsides.

Moosetrot

As a LEO, i'm still going to work every day!

I sam still working, trouble beaver calls are picking up.

I am still picking the ones that didn't make it. Guess I will till someone picks me up. Lol if I didn't or the funeral industry was to shut down we would have a lot bigger health crisis than we do now.
I'm kinda like the old buzzard sitting in a dead tree and the text under him said. " my day begins when yours ends"

Stay safe. If not I wont leave you lay too long.

Still Working I work for the federal government If someone test positive in our shop we will be off for 14 days but so far so good

Mike

I'll wait till the end of the month. The I'll have to work a bit to pay the bills.

Mowing away. LLL

I own a condo in an office building. The entire building has closed down. So, we are working out of our homes, my secretaries, and myself. I kind of like it. It's like practicing retirement. Don't know if I'll ever retire, though. Maybe when I'm dead...…...

Still working here. They haven't layed me off yet.

Working from home.

Still working. A lot of people took a voluntary layoff thinking they would make about as much staying home between the state and federal unemployment as they would working.

Lead water plant operator. I’ll have to work no matter how bad it gets. Only so many of us who can run the plant. Be lucky if they don’t quarantine us at work. 24/7 operation here.

I work as a buyer in the Well Water and Irrigation Industry. Still working.. Deemed essential..

Farmers 24/7/365

Cabinet builder/installer. Still working.

Forester, still working.

Utility locators like myself are wide open. Turkey hunting with my kid at the moment though😁

There is plenty of work around here.

We had a handful of them do it at the shipyard as well only to find benefits denied.

I own a tree service and we are still going wide open for now. My wife is a nurse and today the company she works for owns several hospitals and medical facilities, and they laid off 1300 employees today, and alot were nurses. My wife works in same day surgery and they closed her floor down but she's been working on a different floor. Every nurse in her department was laid off except her and that was because my wife has worked and trained in about every department so they kept her on

I am still working. We build equipment for the forestry and biomass fuel industries.

Working P/E Hospital Maintenance.

I'm still working, an assembler at Deere.

Still beaver'n. One of those jobs that can't be done from home - lol.

Jig & fixture designer/ fabricator for a large, multi plant, manufacturing company.
Got laid off today till July 1st
I was told by the plant manger sales dropped 85% in the last two weeks.
30% of admin. workers gonna get 'er this week.
Doesn't look good.
What gets me is this company has always boasted on their high profit margins and their 1/2 billon in sales per year. So now in two weeks they are almost broke???
It's a dam good thing i don't run my finances like they do or i'd be in deep crap. Just saying...

I'm working helping my cousin hes a carpenter. We're building a house for a guy

The state of Michigan has shut down construction. I was told the local sheriff ran a concrete crew out of grand beach that was wanting to pour a garage floor. Well guess what , today we poured a floor on a marijuana growing facility. And got approval from the state to work there.

Haven't worked for over 4 years now. Retired early and so glad I don't have to go through this BS but I do feel for the ones not working.

I work on an oil tanker. All crew changes are cancelled until the end of the month when they'll reevaluate the situation. I might be on this ship a long long time. No complaints here.

Still working at the sawmill. In fact we have increased hours and everyone is working O.T.

Still working here. I do floor measures for carpet/laminate for Home Depot. They shut down measures and gave me a 25% raise in salary and all the overtime at 2X regular pay I want to work in the store. Busier than a one legged man in an (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) kicking contest.

I will be going from making diapers to making face mask.

I worked through jimmy carter, I worked through barry obama, and I will work through this. God willing

I’m working in the Petri dish everyday! Meat manager here in wa state business is still running about 40 percent above normal but the owner god bless his heart is giving us 2.00 and hour extra for 2 weeks.For that kinda money who wouldn’t work lol.

Gas well tender. I'm essential...

Heating homes. And sending gas to people that are against it in the big cities..

Yeah I am laid off and am not receiving benefits because my employer chose to spread my severance out so I couldn't draw. But even if I could, my unemployment benefits would only equal about 1/2 my normal paycheck, haven't heard anything about that extra $600/week.

Still working here.
Jim

Im a physical therapist laid off 3 wks ago because im a non essential medical personnel and all elective surgeries were post ponedponed. But i have good chance of drawing my moose tag this fall and will make the unemployment window.

Good to see so many guys still working. We are the people that make the world go round or flyover country as they say in DC. If you listen to the Fake news nobody has a job. I told my boys today when they were grumbling about working on pivots. They are dang lucky to be out getting their hands dirty! Lots of folks are scratching the walls right now and they better think about that.

Gold miner, still working.

Commercial pilot. Not working.

Still working my Amazon, buying some antler yet.

Still working

Still working, but things have really slowed down.

More time to work on the race car! Post a pic if you have one.

Been tough for me. One of the magazines I write for all the time just folded. The same company has two other magazines I write for, both dropped to quarterly. Books sales are pretty slow. Fishing tournament sponsorships and my hunting sponsors are really holding things tight right now. I live on several small income streams, all of which are slowing down. Gonna be a tough summer, and no unemployment for the self-employed. I've survived tough times before I will survive this one.

ol furbuyer i worked for always said he'd made it through losing everything twice,whats one more time.

Yep wife's still working and getting extra for working during pandemic!! ( hazard duty pay)

What magazine just folded? I love magazines.

still working as a Mechanic specialized in Fire Trucks

Welcome aboard and thank you.

Welcome to trapperman.

Whitetail Journal folded. Cole publishing also owns Bowhunting World, Predator Xtreme and some others I write for. They dropped PredX to a quarterly.

Advertisers are just not buying ads right now.

Working, but part time. I work HVAC and we are deemed essential. We're just doing no heat service, which is still necessary here in the UP of Michigan.

Still working here. I'm a Corrections Officer at a county jail in Upstate NY

I worked 16 hours last week and 13 this week. Shipping and receiving construction equipment

Got called back today after one week off. I.m the only one in the whole company who does our calibration. Don't think they thought it through very well.

We had half our crews quit to collect there big unemployment check so now those who where still wanting to work

Nuisance wildlife trapping is classified as an essential business in Ohio. I have been busy since February 20.

Visiting wildlife habitat improvement projects and visiting forestry projects for customers are both subjective. I asked for clarification by those in power and was told that since outdoor activities are encouraged, which includes “playing” whatever that may mean, then to proceed but follow the social distancing.

I have been social distancing for all of my life.

Since we build some medical stuff we are still going. But 35% of our vendors are shut down as well as 40% of our customers. So they laid off 20 folks. Sent 8 to work from home like purchasing and engineering and CSR’s. Cut the rest of us to 30-32 hrs/wk.

Working overtime. Busy busy.

Mr. S&R:

You do realize this thread is a year and a half old; going back to the quarantines.

Personally, I'm considering going back to work long enough to qualify for whatever new round of unemployment insurance developes

I hope your being sarcastic

Lots of work time for some trapping!

I have plenty of work on my plate and plenty more coming down the pipe. I work in telecommunications.

Throughout this whole scamdemic I deemed eating, drinking and sleeping under a roof essential so I never quit working.

Livestock an ppl still gta eat. Work been steady on farm/ranch outfit I work for. No change

I work as much as I want to

I was bored.

We're busier than ever. Commercial construction in both US and Canada... although the pace of bidding has slowed a bit.
Since a lot of our work is hospitals, we are considered "essential"

People got to stop working???

Injection mold repair for Rubbermaid.. busy busy busy...

R.I.C.E Power Plant. We never stopped producing power for the grid.

I'm still working. Good job , sprung and rusty for bumping this thread up.
