Is anyone sending their child to daycare right now? I feel like out of all the working parents I know, my husband and I are the only ones not sending our daughter to daycare. We pulled her out when our state closed schools and we live in a hot zone that seems to finally be slowing down in cases. Not sure if that will stay with WI Supreme Court overruling the safer at home order. We both are working from home and not planning on sending her back until the cases are decreasing for a while

How do you not take a layoff due to RIF (involuntary reduction) personally? I was told it is not personal. All full time positions except 1 were let go. Contractors on the team still exist and so does the team. I can’t help but wonder whether performance was a factor and it makes me really sad even after a few months! Any examples of how laying off full time employees over contractors helps with cost cutting? Thanks!
