Good on Sony, and that $1000 stipend is nice . My buddy at Indeed got $500 for his stipend. Meanwhile all i got were 2 work monitors to bring home
Times like these are when you really want your employees to know that they are working at the right place.
Good on Sony for doing all this.

That's awesome. I hope it can sustain past April 30, though. Better than most people right now and a great gesture on Sony, but April 30 really isn't that far away and this crisis is clearly going to go past April 30 and with no end in sight after that.
1. Good going Sony, nice to do this.
2. I wish I could work from home. Somehow we are essential, for processing old ass paperwork for an agency converting to digital. Whatever.
3. About getting leaky... I hope so...I wish it was under better circumstances tho.
It is so weird to think that Sony was one of the first big companies to pull out of traxr shows because of the virus and back then everyone was like "overreaction" and "they actually have nothing to show!" and now the world is on complete lockdown with more than 500k cases worldwide
Lol am I missing a reference here? Got me curious.
Good on Sony for that, especially with the paying workers who wouldn't be able to remote and contractors. Some of my friends are running into job trouble atm because of this. Don't see an end in sight, but I hope normalcy comes sooner than later.
PRobably talking about when they pulled out of all those upcoming shows before this pandemic became what it is as of this moment. The thread on it was full of people bitching about them overreacting.
The thread about Sony cancelling their participation on PAX East due fears of COVID-19 got reaaaaaaally weird, really fast.
sheesh my work didn't even let me do that, all I got to do was bring my laptop home with a charger so it wouldn't die...
Damn, all i got was, i lost my job. Lol
On a positive note, good on Sony for treating its employees right.
Yup. I think it'll take a while, maybe years given the economic outlook, but I do think when things stabilize and return to normal we'll see massive numbers of employees transitioning away from the companies that handled this poorly. I also expect consumers to respond.
Good on Sony for doing this for their workers
It feels weird that this was only a month ago and look how much everything has went to shit 😕
Good job!
The company I work for also made changes like this. It really makes you feel appreciated :)
It's awesome that because of it, I can also keep paying the lady that cleans my place and the daycare my kid goes to. =D

Nice. The $1,000 home office upgrade money is pretty sweet too, first time I've heard of something like that.
