Grrr... HR fucked up and was totally unprepared for this clusterfuck of forced 2 weeks unpaid vacation... with 3 weeks until CARES ends.

Thanks a lot asshats. Especially for the misinformation about being able to claim CARES and take 1 day off a week for the remaining days in july and then coming back after the weekend and admitting you were wrong and salaried employees must take a full week, Sunday-Saturday off to make an unemployment claim.

The worst part is, if this bullshit was announced or decided on even a month ago.. things would have been dramatically easier instead of having every single fucking salaried employee in the US scrambling to fit 2 weeks of unpaid vacation in the next 3 weeks because CARES covers a good chunk of the salary reduction.. Like for me... CARES covers 1/3rd of my missing income from having to do it.
Also... extra fuck you HR because some people will literally not be able to afford to take the 2 weeks off... straight, claim UI+CARES then wait... 8-12 weeks for the benefits to actually arrive.
