Micrsoft is trying to make us vendors work to avoid having to pay for our layoffs?

If you work at Microsoft, I have probably cooked food for you. I have been on this campus for nearly two years.

This morning when we arrived, we were told no food production was happening, and that we are shutting down until at least the 25th. We were told to work today and tomorrow to take care of perishable products and deep clean, inventory, etc. We were told to file for unemployment for the time being. I left work much earlier than usual today.

There is some talk of employees being laid off due to closures and inability to telecommute, and that companies are being told they have to pay the employee? I have no confirmation of this part.

But just now, I have been informed that tomorrow we will be informed that MIcrosoft is trying to reel back their offer of closing campus for our safety,and trying to make us work. My buulding has at least 150 people in it every day. One of our managers is of thw opinion we have already been exposed, but no precautions are being taken. They have been very secretive with us, and it is making my coworkers and I deeply uncomfortable
