Shoppers on furlough

I sincerely hope employers are scanning every media outlet to check and ensure their furloughed staff ain't wandering around on a PAID HOLIDAY shopping.

If you are happy to shop GET back to work.

If they are shop workers, they ARE back in work...

As for the rest, what do YOU know about their situations and how/why they are still on furlough?

Equally, as you're so interested in others situations, what's YOUR position during the lockdown?

Being on furlough as nothing to do with going shopping or going to beach for that matter! It's about companies not having enough work or income to keep staff on wages, hence gvmnt paying to hopefully keep jobs open when furlough ends! What people do when furloughed is immaterial .

Most will be drifting back or being made redundant in the next few weeks as employers will have to start paying towards it soon.

I think it's a bit tough on most of the hospitality industry, they have no choice at all they are not allowed to open.

Is he for real? Do you not understand the furlough process they don’t chose how long they are off for. Lmao.

Spot on I have a brother who works on the parks for ccc,he has just been informed it will be august before he is back in work,as he lives in the same property (although seperated),as my at risk mother! Not his choice,he is bored shitless and would love to be back in if allowed,and he has a mate who works with him,who has been told the same.but as you say,the op obviously has little to no understanding of the furlough protocols.

Sven haven’t agreed on times with your posts but I will absolutely agree on this. I wouldn’t necessarily want to queue but some family members need to for personal reasons.

I'll take my tongue out of my cheek.



Apologies

As a key worker I've worked all through the lockdown.

I'll take my tongue out of my cheek.



Apologies

I thought that when I first looked at it. In fact they've been allowed to take, even encouraged to take paid work in addition to receiving their Furlough payments. As of yesterday I've now got all of my 7 employees off furlough with the remaining 2 returning. Today I took on a new labourer. I did lose one during the process, subject to an extradition request from Lithuania or a crime in committed in 2009. He didn't complete a sort of probation process and they don't let these things go over there. I'm with them on that one but he'd been with me a good few years and is pretty capable.

But I'm in construction and reflective of the sector, the contracts are there and the work is now there to be done. Didn't apply for the grant but may take the bounce back loan to ensure cash flow in the coming months. I have huge sympathy for those sectors that cant return, Most business owners will want to be back at work and working normally, The government did what it had to do at the time of absolute crisis but plotting the way forward from here is difficult. There's 10 wrong pathways and no right pathways. Private business is the likely option for keeping the unemployment lines down but the outlook is gloomy for the hospitality industry and even worse for the travel industry. The key to where we're going is the virus. if it disappeared overnight the country would be back on its feet this time next year. If its back with a vengeance in the autumn forcing another shut down, then this time next year things will be very bleak.

i'd just delete this if you can

Will do

Lol. I thought when I first read it it was a wind up. But then I reread it and don’t think it was. I still don’t now. Lol.

Wind up.

It's just different perspectives, quite a lot of essential workers are resentful of people on furlough, many of them have been sunbathing and watching Netflix and taking nice walks while they have worked, it's understandable really.

That's life their turn will come, hopefully the furloughed will be rushed off their feet in the coming months and the economy will bounce back quickly.

the announcement that extended furlough until October was a massive kick in the teeth for lots of key workers... some on minimum wage or low wages servicing people on double their earnings for doing no more than cooking sausages on the barbeque.. I don't see how it ever evens out ….
