Greyman 25,166 Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 I had a successful nice little business off the ground and starting to make a good return on it in feb2020 the warehouse I was renting shut for a month in March demand for my parts slowed down and by September the whole lot got moved to China, now I,m told to sit in my house and survive on £500 a month for two people, this whole thing is a complete joke but until everyone feels the financial pinch they will just keep on going whilst spouting shit at me to follow orders like a good compliant citizen 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think alot are in the exact same position tbh, even those not on minimum wage. Alot of lads my age have car on tick, phones tick, last month's shopping was on the credit card, holiday in installments .... They couldnt afford to lose 2 weeks wage 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLATTOP 3,655 Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Been working since March and because of absences due to Covid they want you to cover the shifts that are uncovered I must admit it’s boring me now I had no time off over Christmas they have asked me to work next week which is my easy week before I start my shifts again I’ve binned it off. I am lucky because I am still working but non stop gets to be a drag I need some me time. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you've recieved NHS notification to self-isolate it still applies even if you yourself test negative. I'm doing that at the moment but luckily can work from home. Lads on site only get stat sick pay. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
