Is anyone in a job where they are not concerned about it’s future?

[Paintforkitchen]

Just curious really.
What jobs are going to experience relatively little interruption or at least be assured of a role to return to...
NHS staff (thank you thank you)
Teachers/other school staff (thank you also)
People working for supermarkets? (Thank you too!)
Manufacturers of toilet paper???

What industries are going to fare best through this?

DH is in the entertainment industry so we’re probably screwed.

I think very few industries will be completely safe but emergency workers, nhs frontline & supermarket staff are likely fine.

I clean public toilets...they'll stay open surely

I work in food safety, so I can’t work from home (wish I could) but on the upside, my job is unlikely to disappear.

UC for disability, think that's relatively safe. Ish.

& teachers

Midwife, expecting to be kept very busy and even more so 9 months after everyone self isolating!

I know a friend in London who works in transport they are worried as people wont be using transport so much and money drives up. They are not officially civil service either so who knows

Medical regulation. We'll be doing things differently, but they'll still need to be done.

I'm a civil servant but don't feel bullet proof as the economy will be suffering for a long time so cuts may be in the future.

Am a doctor
More work than I can shake a stick at for the foreseeable

Specialist training company. Our company is also fortunate as we all work remotely from home. Work hasn't been interrupted and doesn't look like it will slow down.

DH in marketing, feels confident he'll be ok, working from home indefinitely.

I work in buying for a pharmacy chain. Not in anything useful at the moment but even on lock down we'll do ok luckily.

Few friends who are self employed/freelance/events so really feel their pain

I work in social housing dealing with housing applications so think we’ll be fine. Dh works in environmental health for a council so will hopefully also be ok if we can weather any school closures.

University, we closed today and have been told we’ll be paid for the duration. Expected to at least try and work from home - easier for some than others depending on job.

Software development in insurance. The worse things get, the better it seems to be for us. DH is software development in point of sale software. It's not looking great for him right now.

I'm a nurse and partner is a teacher. However, we've just taken in an extra teenager, who was afraid and parents weren't /aren't taking this seriously.

We already have two, all of them have lost their jobs, so we are in a really good position, but belts will be tightened.

Public transport; we’ve supposedly got enough money to keep us going despite the drop in ridership, but we’ll see - nothing is ever set in stone!

I work in a lab that provides medical supplies for hospitals etc, so I think I'll be safe

Exams Officer.

They will need me back eventually!

I don't see why wfh automatically means job will be safe. Businesses need to have work coming in order for people to have work to do at home. Who will be moving house for example?
People will be poorer after this & have less to spend.

Dh and I are both ok as both work in a University. I'm permanent, he's on a contact but hopefully it will be renewed as the end date is far enough away. Two of my sisters are very concerned though as both self employed.

Civil servant 🙋🏻‍♀️

Trades with a specific skill set should be ok. I’m thinking plumbing, electricians etc.Unfortunately, a lot of my friends are musicians and self-employed crafters.

I’m a Teacher so I’m ok. Dh works in a type of engineering and we’re 99% all will be fine there. We are both home on full pay at the moment. Which is great, we are very lucky!

It's become clear that sadly, the people who've had the courage to follow their passion and / or go it alone will suffer the most. I've been wanting to get out of teaching for a long time but I'm now kind of grateful I never found a way.
