VideographybyLouBloom · 29/03/2020 13:53

I’m really interested to see peoples working arrangements now that we have ‘locked down’ and how this crisis might really affect the economy. Are you:
A) working from home and doing 80-100 percent of your job as usual
B) at home and not able to work but still being paid
C) made redundant/laid off during crisis
D) a key worker, still going out to work as usual (including teachers)
E) not a key worker but still being made to physically go into work as usual.

F. Self employed DH job is entirely outside so still working although probably at 80-90% of usual job. (not essential but the business isn't on ones asked to close)
G. I am self employed and unable to work.

Keyworker- currently A but could well be D soon

ZoeandChandon · 29/03/2020 14:59

G self employed an unable to work, so no money coming in. Dh is also G.

Binglebong · 29/03/2020 15:00

A but the nature of the work is changing.

delilahbucket · 29/03/2020 15:01

A, but then I've always worked from home

viccat · 29/03/2020 15:01

A. - I'm self-employed and always work from home, currently busy but I expect this may change drastically if my main client's business has to close down temporarily (if stricter restrictions come in for non-essential businesses).

Iwannatellyouastory · 29/03/2020 15:02

I’m D (local authority children services)
DH is A ( we don’t have children at home so he’s able to do 100%)

PoorlyWeasels · 29/03/2020 15:02

(A) except that I'm currently sick so not actually working, with DH and DS (D)

WitchyPoos · 29/03/2020 15:02

D - and doing overtime

MissFlite · 29/03/2020 15:03

Both of us are A but both work from home FT anyway. Just have any necessary contact online instead of face-to-face for the time being.
Both self employed.

I have never been more grateful for being able to make the leap to WFH.

Wolfff · 29/03/2020 15:03

A

Karmagoat · 29/03/2020 15:03

I'm not sure if I'm classified as D or E, I'm a school cleaner but still having to go in to clean even though the school is closed and not even open for keyworkers childrenConfused

TheBitterBoy · 29/03/2020 15:11

D, but manager has put the whole site on split (shorter) shifts to cover the work with fewer people in at once and to minimise everyone's work / contact time, for which we are very grateful

thunderthighsohwoe · 29/03/2020 15:12

D on rota (am a teacher) but am struggling to get anything else done at home due to 16mo DD.

tried20names · 29/03/2020 15:13

A - but even busier than usual so logged on for 12 hours a day while trying to keep 2 young children somewhat safe & entertained

Flapjackninja · 29/03/2020 15:14

E

ElsasSalamander · 29/03/2020 15:15

I’m A. Currently doing usual workload but expecting it may reduce a bit next month.

DH is D (keyworker) but is doing A wfh unless called in.

TrashPanda · 29/03/2020 15:16

Me currently B but hopefully A soon, once access all sorted. Although with 3 children it will probably be more like 50%.

DP currently F, self employed, working alone outside and not on the list of businesses required to close. May have supplier issues later in so working while he can.
