I’m sick of him spouting off about people going in to work. He is a multimillionaire who’s going in to work to still get paid.

He’s asking to name and shame employers that are trying to keep afloat.

My facebook is full of reposts with people clapping and cheering him on. Even my family members.

We just can’t close everything down for three or more weeks. This could last months. No one will have any jobs to go to, people will lose loved ones - which they are going to - and then lose their jobs, houses get in to debt. We’re heading in a massive financial crises. People need to be worried about their health but also would about their financial situation after too.

I’ve seen three posts this morning on my face book about greedy employers, forcing them in to work - one of which works in a care home.

I’m not a greedy employer. But I can see that if I close my doors for three weeks maybe be more- we might not reopen again. 19 staff will be out of work going on UC. Staff are all made up of families, some with babies on the way. We’ve had quite good support from our staff, thankfully!

Most Employers don’t have millions in the bank to be able to afford weeks after weeks of shut down. If we close - you suffer too.

If you can go to work - go in as there might be a very good chance of you standing in the unemployment queue before the year is out

Thanks Justginnoschweppes I'm normally a fairly optimistic person but there doesn't seem to be any good news. Anyway the Chancellor is supposed to be making an announcement regarding the self-employed so I'll just have to hope for the best.

My DP works for a factory. He rang on Tuesday morning, to find out where he stood. Was told to go in. They had a meeting where they were all told they would be sent home on full pay. This is not some massive company, it is small to medium sized at best.

I can't believe some of the stuff I'm reading , this is life changing.We need a tighter lockdown, The company I work for is telling us we need to carry on working because of our customers. In no circumstances is money more valuable as life , that's it FULL STOP.
