I am concerned for the employees at each of the properties because being furlough I imagine is very difficult. I also am concerned for my boss, I do not want him to lose any of the properties because this is not something he can control. I am also concerned for the company as a whole because they are making little money.
In the eyes of the company, I am concerned the employees will not come back after the properties are allowed to reopen, that leaves a lot of hiring and HR work for our company (mainly my boss). I am also concerned to lose a lot of the suppliers we have for each property. (April, 2020)
