I work in my local village shop. We have 6 members of staff including my boss. We are still open and pretty busy at the moment as we are taking orders for and doing deliverys for local people who don't want to go out.
One member of staff has decided that as the government is going to pay her 80% of her wages to stay home she isn't coming in. Another has decided he can't cope with working at the moment and isn't coming in either. Both of these have used all their holiday allowance.
Aibu to be very annoyed to hear that my boss is going to pay them both when there is no reason for them not to be in work?
I thought the government help was for people who had on effect lost their jobs as they didn't have work? Neither are self isolating, neither are ill. They are both generally lazy in work which means me and another colleague are always working harder to pick up the slack.
I myself so not want to be working at the moment but I don't feel I have a choice as we only have my wages coming in at the moment in a household of 3 adults. The restaurant my son work zero hours in has closed and the delivery company my partner worked for is closed although he's been told he will get paid his 80% as it's beyond his control that he can't go to work.
I'm so annoyed at my colleagues for thinking they can use this as an excuse to not work and get paid for it. Also annoyed at my boss for letting them. Aibu?
