Nowadays, I get anxious thinking about my job stability.
Conversation was very helpful. Learned a lot.
The flow of the conversation felt disorganized. It was hard to put all of the messages into a certain category.
Hi. How are you doing today?

I am doing pretty well. There's a beautiful sunset outside right now. How are you?

Good to hear. Stressed and anxious nowadays due to this pandemic.
user

Yep. Me too. My dad just got sick and I was worried out of my mind waiting for his test results to come back. Thankfully they were negative. Is there anything else you've been worried about?
assistant

Are you working right now?
assistant
Question
Yes, but my firm has already cut 10%. I feel like I would be next.

Do you have a backup plan if you get laid off?
assistant
Question
Currently no. I am only a low level employee. This is what I am fearful of.
user

I see. Do you have anyone who would be willing to offer you support if you needed it, like your parents?
assistant
Question
Yes, but it will probably be minimal. I fear the economy will be in a downturn due to this lock down in my city.

It might be worth talking to them ahead of time. I'm sure they would understand. Lots of people are in a similar situation right now.

Ok, that is very helpful. Is there a lock down where you live?
user
null
Yes. I live in California, which is kind of strict.
assistant

Oh, I am from Oregon. That is understandable.

I'm perfectly happy to be at home, though. I'm on break from school and I have plenty of projects and stuff to work on here. I really sympathize with everyone who has to support themselves right now, though. It majorly sucks.

Yep. I'm off for a whole two months, because my school didn't want anyone coming back after Thanksgiving.
assistant
