What are you going to do with some squid?
@rogueflyer that's strictly between the squid and me.
Who knows? It would be nice if employers cared about the issue though, I will say that.

Flowerwall, I am an employer and I do care. I gave them time off to buy supplies and made a policy to avoid contaminating equipment and will help if they need time off if I can.
@rogueflyer Good to know people like you exist then. I just haven't seen it with my own eyes on a personal level.
@Flowerwall My mantra has always been "If it's not fun or you don't like the person you're working with, do something different". It seems to have worked out pretty well so far. Employees seem to like it and I think are more productive.
Don't know yet, my work is seasonal, a plant nursery in fact, and I generally start the main season in April. In theory since it is outside work, it should not be affected too much. But if people are feeling short of money and give up travel altogether, then it could be serious. I usually earn a bit extra, in the winter season especially, as a public speaker, but people are canceling those events fast, so that is a loss already.

I work in a grocery store. I have a job until we run out of stuff to sell I suppose

I hope you employer is doing everything they can to protect you from the disease.
@Lucy_Fehr I've instructed use only their own computer and their own phone, no exceptions. They used a label maker to mark their equipment and understand the importance of these policies. So far we haven't seen any reduction in sales. We all practice social distancing and no handshakes. Customers seem to appreciate these measures.
