The economy is screwed and so are we. I'm currently furloughed but due to return in a couple of weeks (they are rotating team members). My job involves a lot of travel so whilst it is possible to do it from home, it's not really the same level of quality and they could probably have more work done with less people once the travel element is removed (it wouldn't be classed as essential business travel). Can't see me doing any work related travel this year at least.
The company I work for is not first in line to go bust (like retail, travel etc) but does offer services to some of those industries so if major clients go bust then it will certainly affect income.
I'd say I'm 50:50 that I'll be made redundant, usually i'd just pick up contract work in that scenario but I can see there being lots of people in the same boat and very few contracts.
Trying to save as much money as possible now to add to meagre savings. Husband doesn't work but rents out a property which would tide us over, so long as our tenants continued to be able to pay rent.
