How many are still working and what do you do?.

[cyberknight]

I know not all companies can afford the output with no input but I feel a decent company in good condition should top up the final 20% for it's workers. I was never one for wanting something for nothing but I think the majority of well run companies should be able to withstand that.

Working with Planning and Building Control at Council to get applications signed off and working drawings and contract ready start on site for 23 social rent bungalows, as soon as the lockdown on building sites is lifted. That and sorting out the drawings for three friends' houses for when they can start building their own.

Ooo. supposed to be organising that too..

Getting an competent person to draw up house plans, for planning application.

Do you think its possible to initiate the drawing up procedure without an initial face to face meeting??

- with an architectural draughtsperson, that is.

The initial design is drawn up it just needs a pro' such as yourself, to interpret, and do the technical specs etc.

I'm all too familiar with the machinations of the local planning dept itself..

I started a new job on the 16th of march, years spent working for a major bank, all day on the phone to the rest of the world, I finally cracked and resigned, I lasted 10 days in my new job (maintenance/handyman, I do have the skills and qualifications) and the site was closed down, I now get £200 per week from the IoM Govt until the middle of June, if the site does not open by then I will go on unemployment benefit

I expect the self employed Amazon delivery drivers are doing quite well. Ie plenty of work, little traffic and everyone is in

I work in IT Security (manage a pen testing team) in a bank, I've worked from home for many years so I seem to have already the coping skills that others are having to quickly adapt to. I'm extremely fortunate and hope those of you on furlough or worse are ok.

 

[gavgav]

Working from home, for the NHS. I don’t consider myself a hero, it’s the clinical staff on the front line, who massively deserve those titles, but I hope my small cog in the wheel is helping the fight against the virus in some way.

Some on furlough at 80% of salary seem to be quite happy to take the cash and even when offered full time again choose not to work.
I know of at least one instance of a multinational company offering to hire a whole hotel for it's own staff with strict biosecurity. The hotel lost the business because not enough staff were willing to come back on full pay.
I am not in a position to criticise as I do not work anyway and also fall into a high risk bracket but just put this out as an observation.

When furlough ends and staff return to work, I'm sure those that showed some integrity and loyalty will be shown the same in reverse by the company. I fear a lot of companies are going to have to make some difficult decisions later in the year.

It's a strange one, I've never been one to pull a sickie but with this going round and a permanently impaired lung, I'd jump at 80% to stay at home. Easy decision for three reasons, first is obvious, second, I could easily manage financially, third , work is more congested than I feel comfortable with, They've done a lot to distance staff but the numbers of people mean infinate possibilities to come into contact with gawld knows what.
Talking to a guy up the road today who works in a Co-OP distribution depot and he feels exactly the same. Too many people despite their efforts to distance staff.

Some people are nervous, perhaps by nature, some with what they are faced with every day. It's far safer and more comfortable to be at home.

I tend to agree with you regarding nervousness and it is easy to be critical when not being in the position of having to make a decision.

If only it was that simple. Even well run companies may not have large cash reserves and if your sales have fallen away to nothing you are going to run out of cash and therefore not be able to pay staff. Government could have made their loans scheme's easier to access. Finance Manager for a SME currently managing a department with everyone working at home. The novelty of working from home has definitely worn off if today's team meeting via zoom was anything to go by.

Nurse manager in the NHS. It's manic.......but will be much worse soon.

People I know have had a 10% pay cut or 10% pay deferred for a year even though they are working at home. I am lucky I can work at home on full pay as an accountant in the education sector. Lucky to be on full pay and lucky to be at home out of harm's way.
