Why is this even a thing?
I am working from home but my DH is furloughed, he gets the set amount from the government and doesn’t begrudge it, buts it’s much less than what he would normally get.
My work have furloughed about 5% of staff but haven’t claimed the wages from the government. Not all workplaces are doing so as the cheeper wage is enough incentive not to.
He may not have his very hard earned career after this is all over. All similar jobs are also being furloughed and made redundant, all over the country.
He is going back part time in 2 weeks at works request and can not wait. However it’s only to forecast the rest of what will be a dismal year in his industry and what he forecasts will seal the fate do his job..
His mental health has suffered as a consequence and he doesn’t know what to do if he loses his job, and neither do we as a family.
What the hell is wrong with people who say that furloughed people are taking the piss? It’s not their choice!!!
