[quote=Anonymous]So I was wondering if You guys could help me out pls.
I’m working fir a family who’s pretty well off, they’re not billionaires, but the parents make a very good income.
This only matters because of my questions.
So they told me they don’t want me to work for them right now, which I said I totally understand and respect, but I’d like to get at least two weeks pay (social distancing money) from them, if they can, so that I can cover some of my bills for the month of April.
At first they ignored me for a week, I asked what’s going on and if I’m being paid or am I having a job...
Eventually they said they can’t pay me for every week if this keeps going on, I said I understand, not what I’m asking for. 
To make a story short. Talked to the mom on the phone and she’s telling me how she’s upset about me asking them for money,....
Mind you, they’re both still working from home. Apparently the dads salary got reduced, but she’s the one still working and she makes 80% of their income, I know for fact. She was very rude and yelling at me  how I’m attacking her....
I’m like how am I attacking you? I simply asked what my job future is and if I’m being paid because we have a 52 weeks agreement.
And she’s also asking me if I’ll stay with them and come back whenever we are allowed to be working again.
This she asked because I’m sure she won’t pay me if I tell her I’m leaving, and she doesn’t want to fire me so they don’t have to pay me severance.
Basically, she’s putting me on the back burner, no pay no nothing, but expects me to come back in two months....not getting another job.
Oh and she ended by saying she didn’t have time to stay in touch, only an occasional how are you is enough.
She will talk to husband and tell me what’s going on, if I’m getting any money or not. I mean at one point I was almost ok taking 2 weeks pay, losing 6 weeks pay.

I’ve been working for them for more than 11 years with guaranteed pay. So it’s not like I’m there only for two weeks.
So do you guys think I overreacted, I’m asking too much??? I simply wanted to know where I stand. 
I mean if they don’t want to pay me for 8 weeks, I’ll either get unemployment or look for another job, I can’t afford sitting at home and not getting paid. 
In 2 months they probably made at least 100k, and I made 0. But if I want unemployment, don’t they need to fire me first or something? Can I just go and file without them firing me? I’m all confused, I guess with all the stress I can’t think right 
THANK YOU!
