Not quite sure where to put this so hoping chat is the right place.
Also, have nc due to this being about work but have been here for ages.
Is anyone else really struggling with furlough? I've been furloughed since mid April, was the last to be furloughed on my team. Work in a sector which is heavily effected by how many people are on the road so have been hit with the lock down restrictions.
I'm now in the 4th month of furlough. We have a weekly update from the business lead and each week are being told people are returning from furlough throughout the business but none of our specific team have been. Its less this that's the problem and more the lack of care and communication from line manager.
She has also been furloughed and while I understand there are restrictions on what you can do re work contact on furlough, I feel like a few wellfare texts wouldn't go a miss but we've had nothing. The rest of the team still working haven't spoken to anyone furloughed either. It's like we've just been dropped without a care.
I'm personally struggling to fill the time. I feel like I just sit waiting for 'the call' to come back to work which I know won't come until the work is there. After 4 months, all the DIY has been done and I just feel useless. I'm really struggling with it. Is anyone else feeling this way? I know there's nothing that can be done about it and I'm lucky to have not been made redundant (yet) but I'm finding it really tough on my mental wellbeing.
