Like many others. Getting incredibly anxious.
My work (huge household name with a multi billion turnover) informed us this afternoon we would only be paid in the event of a lockdown. In the meantime, I have several colleagues self isolating who will get statutory sick pay.
With many of my workforce being working parents, and with the schools closing tomorrow, we have also been informed should we need time of due to parental responsibility we will receive no pay-not even eligible for statutory as it's our choice effectively to take care of the dc's.
We all can work from home, however work have only ordered enough secure laptops for possibly one out of every seven people to do so.
There is zero sanitizers at work, and it appears the cleaners aren't coming in anymore.
I have flushed hot and cold today, and mentioned to my boss I have a sore throat. I was told this wasn't a symptom and I was fine. Came home and Dp has similar symptoms. More than likely a cold, but works reaction was worrying, and I quote ''Well if you don't have a high temperature you haven't got it.''
Dreading going in tomorrow. The atmosphere is hideous.
