  • Other benefits aren’t affected I think pal.    My place are saying to folk we will pay you the extra 20% if you burn a weeks holiday which is fair enough I think and gives folk the choice then

  • Can I request it because trying to work from home with 2 kids is giving me a stress induced heart attack!   

  • Jesus Take the 80% and be fucking grateful that the system we pay into is coming to the party. It's not like we've all got weekends out/holidays/anything at all extra to pay for. It'll cover

Sad day, mate.

Think there's a good chance I'll be in from tomorrow, nature of the beast might mean I still carry on doing some wfh though.

Engineering in water and wastewater had to pay off at some time. Didnt expect it to be this way.

Clinging on here like Jimmy Anderson 

Toss of a coin between me and business partner. Bet he fucking wins!!

We all agreed as a team today that we’d stay in touch daily (no obligation) and keep things moving. Tidy up our admin, have a plan for day one, that sort of thing.

When this is over, there’ll be a fucking gigantic party, then I’m hoping shoulders to the wheel and a Herculean effort to get things moving again.

It’s going to be one curve you don’t want to be behind with.

All my logins will be suspended. I'll not be able to do a single thing even if I wanted to.

Oh and I'm only being furloughed from 17th April and until then it's going to be manic. It's a weird feeling.

Need to be careful. Don't know what you do but if hmrc know you've been working your employer may not be getting paid. 

Already reckon some businesses will be furloughing staff without them knowing, getting em to crack on 100% and topping wages up so they don't know the government has paid most of their wages. 

Anyone doing so is a cunt and I hope they get strung out by hmrc!

I think this is what they will request. 

Again. Depends what you do.

Cost Analysis for me. So for the next 3 weeks I'll be looking at ways to reduce costs further before making the ultimate sacrifice. Brill.

Ill agree again

We are going to take some checking up on

Can see bigger outfits than us having to be careful

Shit jobs of our time, number 87

Had to tell a good lad he doesnt qualify as he didnt join us until early march

Not nice

He said, dont worry, ill get down to the supermarkets

Shitter we cant help him out, but ill have him back as one of the first returners at least

Reckon my Mrs boss will furlough her and his staff without telling em and letting them crack on 100% through stressful times while he pays them the top up so they don't realise. 

If I find out that's happened I'll be #fuming

Fucking hell, is that a thing? Alex will be hoping they just keep paying him then. He only started a week last Monday and then on his second Tuesday was sent home.

Have to be employed on or before feb 28, i believe

Can see why to a point

Some types would recruit 150 people and trouser the 80%

My mon worked for me before and rejoined us early march

Gave up a secure  job to do so
