Question the the wise of NSC
My other half has just been made redundant from her job
Instead of paying her 3 months notice period at once they have put her on furlough/gardening leave and then topping it up to 100 percent for the 3 months.
She’s completely free to get another job as on...
No, but by going massively OTT people are too scared to go out and get things moving again - even if they are low risk.
The Furlough scheme is excellent, however it’s having to be extended due to the above.
Even now we are hearing scare stories based, each one dents the confidence to go out...
We are now seeing the damage the hysteria cause by some of the media/gov.
People won’t be purchasing goods/hiring services etc because they are too scared to go out and spend money.
Think it’s going to be extended till Aug
I personally think it will be cut to some degree for some businesses that can open and operate and be extended for others.
I Don’t get the second job thing - I’m not complaining.
But a lot of Virgin Workers have picked up second jobs in Super markets and are therefore key workers.
If they get the 80 percent they will have to give that up which will put pressure on shops.
Things have certainly become more interesting for my work place
A lot of staff took redundancy because it was a better option than take a pay cut/unpaid leave/company loan for x amount of months.
They technically haven’t left let.... so all are
Saying they want to now stay.
