Of your not a key worker, has it made you feel like your job is a bit worthless ?

I’m not slating anyone I do charity work, but all this upheaval really makes you Evaluate things

My husbands job sees him classed as a key worker - except he’s furloughed. The term is pretty meaningless.

Everybody's job is key to a functioning capitalist society. Just because some workers' roles were designated critical to the running of the country during the earlier stages of this pandemic, it does not mean that others jobs are less important.

Other jobs, the ones of those furloughed or working from home are now becoming the key roles to save the country from economic collapse. We are all truly in this together and our roles are as important as each others.

If you feel like your job is worthless, that is because of your state of mind and not the actuality of the situation.

I've had enough of the cringe 'I'm a key worker' Facebook photos from key workers like me who are working from home and face no risk whatsoever...

I was/am a key worker (not in UK) and I hope it hasn’t made people think their job is worthless. I hate the naff hero stuff that’s been applied to it. Everyone’s job contributes to society. Every job is vital now, as user8747 says, to try and stave off economic collapse.

I'm a keyworker running a care home and the pandemic has made me feel even more low and totally undervalued. The government, media, shops and general public have made us feel like the underclass.

A lot of companies furloughed people to save a few quid. Some of those companies could have enabled WFH but chose not to.....
