COVID-19 — Coronavirus

Your company should give you the choice. They know that everyone will want it if they do.
All they have to do is give those that work a bonus if they feel it’s essential.
Your loyalties will be the same as mine.

Because they say they are not intending to make anyone redundant and are essentially still working they cannot furlough me. Bunch of cunts. I've been off since march23 with a disabled wife and haven't heard a peep from them

"The discovery of the risen Christ on the first Easter Day gave his followers new hope and fresh purpose, and we can all take heart from this".
Ahem, "His followers" if you don't mind please your Maj. That's why we genuflect with the right knee at Mass. Left knee for Kings, Queens. Right knee for Him. (Both knees for Serge).

And this exemplifies perfectly the utter mess we're in regarding working from home / essential work etc.

So we are approaching 2/3 weeks In lockdown.

Surely we have to start seeing some down turn in the death rate in the next few days?

From what I have seen 90 plus percent seem to have behaved impeccably.

Exactly, so 6.8 million haven’t

Doubt it’s that many, tbf. The vast majority of people are doing the right thing. It’s only a tiny proportion of bellends acting irresponsibly.

Just posted on a different thread before checking this one. Stay safe blues ! Absolute nightmare over here in the States. I’d imagine much the same in the UK.

The way I understand the way it works is they don’t have to furlough every employee.

Have you tried going above their heads.
These are exceptional circumstances and some people are not understanding people’s differing circumstances.

You should be on full pay if they don’t give furlough.
It’s not a refusal to work. It’s a necessity to look after your wife.

I'm not suprised. In fact i think it explains quite a lot to me.

I don't know why, but it just doesn't feel like I'm going to catch corona, let alone a bad case, which is pretty stupid because most of us likely will, and i have at least 2 markers associated with increased mortality rates.

I had to give up eating horse burgers as they gave me the trots.

Sounds like a bit of a mare.
