Are you going to work today?
chomalungma · 17/03/2020 06:50
I am - my role is difficult to do from home and our work needs to be going during this situation.
What about other people?
Bluewater1 · 17/03/2020 06:51
I think we will be told to work from home given the information from yesterday's COBRA meeting, am going to check my emails in a moment
Sillyscrabblegames · 17/03/2020 06:51
I can work from home, as can my entire team, so we will.
Cocoandclive27 · 17/03/2020 06:51
As of today we have been told to work from home until further notice.
chocolatespiders · 17/03/2020 06:52
Yes I am - nhs community role. And being trained today the proper way to put on and remove protective equipment.
I will be so gutted if I get this virus. I am so lucky I have not had a day off sick for 13 years!

Can't work from home, but had to cancel with a client as my daughters childminder is closing for 2 weeks. Have probably lost that customer
1happyhippie · 17/03/2020 06:53
I am. I work in a care home with the elderly.
Very worried now, we had an email last night to say some of our staff are isolating due to the new advice, so I know we will be struggling now.
Also, concerned that my dc are still expected to attend school. Worried they could catch it and pass it on to me without us realising and I take it in to work.
Very confused what to do right now.
boredboredboredboredbored · 17/03/2020 06:53
Yep. I'm a community nurse who looks after people with long term conditions (mainly copd / heart failure). It's hard to know what to do for the best right now but I'm cancelling all non essential face to face visits.
Mner2000 · 17/03/2020 06:53
I work from home anyway but DH will he going out to work...
Fishcakey · 17/03/2020 06:54
Most of my office have the capability to work from home but can't see the bosses letting it happen. I can only do half my job from home so I think I'll be there until further notice. I need the money too much to argue about it. Husband can work from home but as his boss is in quarantine he has to go in.
Chocolatecake12 · 17/03/2020 06:55
Work in an admin role in the nhs. No option of wfh do I’m still going in. Wondering if they’ll stop non essential staff from working.
Coronaremoaner · 17/03/2020 06:55
I am, really annoyed as DH works in an office job that he could do from home easily but they’re not allowing it. He said 3 people in his team had coughs yesterday. Everyone is terrified because they don’t offer sick pay. Boris really needs to make the message clear because people are not listening - to any of it!
moveandmove · 17/03/2020 06:55
I'm going in today, I've not been told to work from home yet from my employer.
Nquartz · 17/03/2020 06:56
No luckily, I am on the rota to work from home anyway, DH is working from home indefinitely.
I've been told we'll get an update today from work though, which I hope is everyone who can work from home should.
Reythemamajedi · 17/03/2020 06:57
Going in to shut down the building, than wfh for the rest of the week/month/season? Not sure really how pong it will last.
Nquartz · 17/03/2020 06:57
@Coronaremoaner that's disgraceful, those people definitely shouldn't be in.
namechangepls5 · 17/03/2020 06:57
I work in a large office, could easily do my job from home... but I haven’t been allowed 🙁
I have a long commute, and take two forms of public transport but they still don’t care
eyesbiggerthanstomach · 17/03/2020 06:58
Yes but I think today is my last day before I work from home.
I feel lucky that I can do that.
If nurseries close I can't work from home with a toddler so I have no idea what I will do then
Nquartz · 17/03/2020 06:58
@namechangepls5 they'll care when half of their workforce is off sick. Dickheads
Jumpingforgin · 17/03/2020 06:59
Dh WFH as of yesterday, I work for one of the big supermarkets, so no chance of working from home... will be on the front line this afternoon, making sure our shelves are stocked and our customers are served... Not all hero's wear capes 😅
thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 17/03/2020 06:59
Yes. We have been told we have to come in. We could work from home as in it's possible but not allowed.
TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 17/03/2020 06:59
Yes. Support worker in assisted living.
24 hour shift.
