Unfurloughed!

[OldSpeclkledHen]

Got the phone call today to say please return to the office tomorrow!

More then happy! Just worried that I've adopted a slower pace of life!! It'll be fine I'm sure!!

Yippee! I'm going back to work! 😁😁

Brilliant news OP. I went back from furlough last week and I'm so happy to be working again.

I've worked through this as a keyworker.

I've only walked the farmland near me and gone to supermarket out side of this - so followed lockdown rules properly.

But I'm soooooooo pleased for you. I can honestly say it's been my colleagues and having work that has kept me sane through all this.

Great news, congratulations!

I have been WFH throughout. My only worry would be squashing my now circular feet into office footwear. I have been barefoot for so long I think I will have to fold my feet up.

Have you/your team been pushing for your return? Was there resistance from senior management?

@itsgettingweird Absolutely agree, I would have lost my mind long ago if I hadn't been working.

Great news!

Maybe you work with me, I find out today too! I’m hoping to not though. Young kids and no childcare, plus I’m enjoying not working!

Great news! I was unfurloughed 3 weeks ago and felt the exact same way - although I was working from home still once unfurloughed. It's such a relief to get back to work.
I also got one days notice, for those that may be interested. I was contacted and asked if I could open the laptop and start working the next day cause the funds had been cleared for me to start on a project. My furlough notice from the company did say they'd give a weeks notice but they asked if I would waive this and I was perfectly happy to do so...no kids to organise around for me.

@nellyburt I'm admin for car showroom, so we are doing click and collect and then open to showroom customers from Monday.

Trousers fitted! Tops a bit tight! But so glad to be back! On lunch now, but I've only had breakfast so far (whereas furlough I'd be 20 snacks in by now 🙊)

Mad isn't it though?! I mostly enjoyed furlough, but the last three weeks have been testing (other reasons too) so my manager and myself have been pushing to get me back.

Yippee! Was so excited I was awake at 4am!

Good Luck to everyone else, hope it happens soon for you!

I'm back in work today. Bit of a shock to the system!

@OldSpeclkledHen similar job here (aftersales) and I am off furlough and WFH

I posted yesterday that I'm back at work three days and enjoying it. Got asked today to work my full five days from next week. I guess I have to, but I don't want to!

I've been back since last monday - had the call the Friday before but still WFH which is a double edged sword with a pre-school DD! Really glad to be back as I love my work but have definitely been thrown in the deep end as there is so much to do (linked to the probable re-opening of schools and nurseries) I am exhausted! I normally only work pt (30hrs) but I'm doing more than full time hrs to try and have everything in place in time - (i'll be able to take the time back in lieu when things settle down again) but the sudden change in pace combined with also being 17w pregnant is tough!

Lucky thing! I'm going to be home for the foreseeable as I'm one of the underlying issues gang and I'm so bloody bored I could chew my own head off. I can't stand it much more.

Two out of our 3 sites start returning as of Monday...guess who works at the 3rd one and has another month to go. I'm so jealous.

Yay! Good luck

**For others saying about short notice, just a heads up, are expected to be available to work at all times and gov is suggesting 48 hours may be nice.

The furlough contracts where I work say you can be called back to work at 24 hours notice ( not that it effects me I’m on maternity leave )

That must be great for you OP. I was furloughed just as I was about to start in a new role so I'm doubly anxious about going back. I'd quite like a soft start on part time hours and yes, I'm wondering which clothes will fit. Good Luck!

Hope your day was okay OP 😁. I'm the opposite - been working full time (NHS , not frontline, GP surgery) and I've got annual leave next week and can't wait to relax!! I know I've been one of the lucky ones to have still been working - think I would have gone stir crazy at home but a week off I can cope with!
