Hey hope you guys are all well. <3 Real quick, here's what's going on at the Inn:
-Any employees who felt at all sick were encouraged to stay home with paid sick leave starting a few weeks ago. -Last week the bar, restaurant, and spa were closed and the staff was whittled down to a skeleton crew. All employees whose hours were cut down are still getting paid normally through at least the end of the month. Past the end of the month it's unclear what the Hill Crest can afford, but it's being actively worked on. Also just FYI for any worried staff members to know, California is now giving expedited unemployment benefits to anyone whose hours were cut or job was eliminated because of Covid-19. -More and more guests have been cancelling reservations so there's not much to do anyway. -Plans are in place to open the Hill Crest up to shelter members of the local homeless population to help reduce the spread of the virus.
ALSO, Owen and his house moved off property like a month or so ago. He moved his fake house next to Huck's real house so they can semi-live together while they build their own place. On top of that, Owen's largely been out of commission since Valentine's Day weekend when he got a concussion that he's still recovering from. He's been coming to the Hill Crest but not for entire work days and leaning heavily on the Inn's management staff.
The concussion's been affecting his moods and his ability to focus, so he's been not great to be around the past few weeks. If you want to have or have had an encounter with Owen being irritable and moody, just let me know. This extends to people around town, not just staff at the inn. 😊
