Well, at least this is good news:
On Thursday, DHS officials said they were halting the plan to bring in those additional 35,000 H-2B foreign visa workers “due to present economic circumstances” wherein 6.6 million Americans have now filed jobless claims in the midst of the Chinese coronavirus crisis.
Responsible companies should have set aside 3 months of expenses in a savings account for a rainy day and maybe not over-extended so much. Personal responsibility … it’s not just for when boomers want to talk down to kids about college debt.
You’d be surprised at how many have. 3 months at a minimum
Those that have done so will survive. Those that did not? Well their survival is TBD.
That is a lesson well learned across the board. When you have six months of overhead at a minimum saved, then you can purchase whatever.
Never tap into those reserve funds.
I never relied on data from China or WHO. I put my company on a two week shut down and the blow back is beyond the pale.
Profits over people. I was absolutely sick over this yesterday but today I am good with my decision. I only wish more would take the stand that I did. Not going to happen.
It is all kinds of “fun” being the salmon that swims upstream rather than those who go with the flow.
They realised after the Tucker expose, the blowback was too much. Message received!
I did the same thing and laid off everyone after the ACA was put into effect. I gave my employees 10K a year to purchase healthcare. Most had spouses with healthcare benefits and pocketed the 10K a year. The costs of healthcare rose and several employees approached me wanting an increase in healthcare stipends.
A difficult decision as 1/3rd of the time I received no compensation yet every employee was always paid.
I made that difficult choice and gave them 90 days notice and began shutting down the business excluding several customers I kept. I assisted those that needed help finding other employment.
The decision upset me a great deal however since then I have always received a paycheck for work performed. I’m good with my choice today.
Best of luck as you go forward.
I tried that as well with the same results. Except most didn’t have spouses with healthcare benefits. So, when sick they would complain they didn’t have the money to see a doctor.
So, I switched to you’ll have insurance and offered two plans.
It does get so frustrating that sometimes you just want to hang it all up.
Thank you, Lou 
I have a management/technical support company, just me.
I had 7 employees 6 making 6 figures, 1 at 70K. It was never enough.
When I had a delay in a start date, the assigned manager would have paid time off , some time a few weeks until the job started and all still used all their vacation time.
Always happy to take rarely happy to gov back. Like miss a few vacation days.
We should share war stories in PM, lol 
I found corporate life painful with office politics making productivity difficult, it’s why I left for private business. In the end it was much like baby sitting 6 teenagers, had the best office manager in the world.
