Not really I do appreciate them hiring me and working for almost 19 years but at the same time I feel a bit underappreciated I should be making around 20.00 or a little more an hour I'm grateful for having a job but I feel that I deserve more. #coronavirus #workfromhome
I don't believe that they do I've been with my job for almost 19 years and I truly believe that I'm worth more than what I'm getting. #coronavirus #workfromhome

I posted yesterday explaining how I am a gig driver! I thought this was an interesting article to read for my fellow gig workers. https://www.npr.org/2020/03/13/814587903/coronavirus-puts-financial-pressure-on-uber-drivers-other-gig-workers
Lyft, Uber, DoorDash, Instacart and others are offering financial help to those who have been diagnosed or put into quarantine due to the #coronavirus.
Instacart is introducing SICK PAY!!
A few other companies are discussing doing some sort of pool fund for for those who drive for more than one service.

Many employees in the food industry will not get PTO during the Coronavirus epidemic which seems CRAZY considering they serve food daily. This exposes more individuals to any potential illnesses.
Companies should treat all workers the same and if they are not feeling well they should encourage them to stay home and offer their support!
A small handful of companies like Trader Joe's and Starbucks are supporting their workers and offering them paid sick leave, and for that we commend them!

If you could stay home without pay and avoid Corona or come in and earn money and possibly be at risk, which would you choose?
Pay attention to safety details, listen to advice from people with senior time on project. Do your job, perform to your pay grade. Be nice and enjoy what your doing.
