RE: Positivity Challenge # 3 - Pack for 10 Days - Hurricane Matthew Aftermath
His job is basically to help clean up, set up, restock, and man the floors while the local employees tend to their homes and families without fear of losing their job.
That's nice that employees are willing to be away from home so those in hard-hit areas can take care of family first, which also helps the store make more money and allows customers to buy what they need sooner. It also would have been nice if Lowe's had given him some per-diem money up front.
Are you familiar with The Penny Hoarder? The site features a lot of large and small ways to supplement income if you're in the U.S.--some of it very easy to do without upfront costs.
Thanks for the response @steemerpat
They had finally gotten organized (locally) with meals. Team leaders basically took the team out for lunch and dinner and put it on the corporate card. Booze on your own tab. (LOL, they're no dummies). Hubby is exhausted and ready to come home but while he was at the different stores he received a few shout-outs! All the better for his resume. He was actually waiting to see if he got a promotion before he was called to emergency duty. :)
Yes, I've heard of the Penny Hoarder but haven't visited in a long, long while. I had to unsubscribe as my mailbox was getting inundated. But it looks like they've upgraded the site since I've been there last. I will definitely check them out again. Thank you for the link :)
Fingers crossed your husband gets his promotion. I know that waiting-for-the-next-check syndrome, only with us it's for our 75% social security checks. Fortunately, money buys more here.
