Going back to work after this is over

[Harmony]

So I work in a place where I am come into contact with like 100 people a day, and walk around a facility that has like 400 people in it, also all walking around.

Also, I live with 2 people in their late 80s, each of which has health problems which make them even more vulnerable to the coronavirus.

So I am like really considering getting a different job, like maybe one I do at home, so that I don’t have to worry about all this.

Is anyone else thinking along the same lines, or anything like that?

Is your employer able to make some arrangement for people in your situation, who have vulnerable loved ones at home?

I am lucky, I work from home and I support hospital workers and patients.

 

[Harmony]

No, my job really requires me to be there.

 

[Harmony]

Is that your job?

 

[phil3]

Yes, we are so busy we have been doing over time for weeks.

My friend sent me information about a place where they teach medical coding. Do you know anything about that?

 

[phil3]

no, but I would love to learn. I do technical support

I think one of my friends did medical coding for a while. She definitely wasn’t hurting for work. Medical anything is a growth field right now.
I don’t know how well it pays or anything, she’d been fired from a previous job so was just glad to be working.

Ah, I don’t know enough about computers to do that. Thanks!

Thank you; this sounds like it could work!
