I am lucky--still getting paid during this difficult time

Tweet

I am a salaried employee. I am able to do my job online. . . though we are all still figuring this out for the first time. Because I can teach online the days count as actual school days and as "working". I am still going to earn my full pay on the regular schedule. So many people are being furloughed and missing out on their paychecks during this time period. Not everyone has a huge savings account to get them through the next couple of months while many businesses are closed and people are self-distancing. We will see what the government does to help those who are struggling during this trying time. I just feel fortunate that I don't have to worry about money for the time being.
