There are millions of laid off workers stuck in this weird purgatory. How should they handle getting their stuff back? What responsibility does a company have? And what does this mean for the future of work: if people can't trust companies to send their belongings back to them, what will happen when this is over and folks slowly start to enter the workforce?

Great article. My ex employer has been making up excuses for a month now and now blaming the post office for getting my personals lost even though it took the company supposedly 3 weeks to find an envelope big enough to put my items in. I plan on filing a complaint with the labor board and better business bureau so it's on file. Pandemic or not, no employer has the right to retain or consider personals left behind as trash.
