Likely a forgotten key worker by many. I know that several in your area of work come under a lot of flack at times. My mum used to work in the sector. I for one, feel you lot have been doing a cracking job considering the circumstances, the amount of work you've had to shelve in order to cope with this new demand and influx of work.

It will take a while for things to get back to "normal" in that area per se. Keep on. You have my full support (not sure what that is worth but yeah).

Thanks. Most people are very grateful at the moment, if fact that's always the way. There's always a few who grumble but you get that in any job/situation from what i see.

No worries and from my experience if you can be the away from the whingers etc it's so much better for your own well being

I'm furloughed with just the 80% salary, but hope to return to work (non-essential retail) during June. Living in rural Wales, I have been having quite a nice time, thanks. But absolute admiration for essential workers who are battling through.
Where in Wales are you out of interest RWB?

No problem at all. I'm sure most are, especially as for many it is a new pathway/truncation for them. But of course frustrations can rise with some and it's not always nice to be on the front end of something; which is a result of the system and not one that the individual dictates.

Still it is rewarding to know that your colleagues and yourself have been and continue to be helping so many people out. That is where my "forgotten" or "unsung" reference comes from. An integral part of keeping society rolling along.

Me and the Mrs are both working full time on full pay from home, and I've been busier than ever (in commercial side of media licensing). Ideally, I'll never go back to the office full time and am actively encouraging our company to move to a "work anywhere" culture.

Incredibly greatful that we've not been impacted too much workwise while recognizing we both have jobs which are ultimately frivolous nonsense compared to key workers.

As I've said elsewhere, I'm on 80% salary but working currently. Unfortunately, work is continuing to dry up and pretty much the whole company is at risk of redundancy at the end of this month. There is a role I can do in the restructured company, but there are only 3 of those positions available and I anticipate at least half a dozen of us will be applying. I just have to hope my experience and profile within the company will stand me in good stead.

Should the worst happen I will be able to live off the redundancy and notice pay, what's currently in my bank account and the 6 months of JSA until around this time next year so it's not disastrous.

Good luck Si, hopefully doesn't come to the worst case scenario there.

From the point of view as an employer, if it wasn't for the furlough scheme, my business would be fucked or we'd be making a lot of people redundant.

Things appear to be picking up again, and I'm glad we've got the benefit of the scheme until October in some capacity.
