A poll on working in the CV crisis

[VideographybyLouBloom]

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.

D (hospital)

D

Currently A but immunosuppressed and work for large business where part of it are key workers (who can WFH) Will probably have to give up my laptop to someone in frontline delivery . (Which I understand)
Then I will be B. (I'm thankful for that at least)

We are A and D. One of us is home based in usual times anyway.

Both of us are D. DH is able to either wfh or start stupidly late, 3 days a week, and I'm going in stupidly early. The dc have to go to school twice a week

A plus more hours/ pressure than normal DP is the same. Not a lot of home schooling going on here

Other - on maternity leave

B. However I should be D but a health condition makes me vulnerable so I'm not able to work. Fortunate to have a supportive employer.

DH is A.

DH is A, I'm C (self-employed but now 2 kids at home, 1 ASD) but not eligible for any state help at all as became self employed 1.5 years ago.

B if furloughed counts.

D

Closest to A but definitely not getting anywhere near 80-100% as in charge of looking after 2 year old DS.

DH works in finance and it’s the tax year end plus the crisis is affecting the markets so Mon-Fri he is comfortably ensconced upstairs with his work and coffee machine while I answer emails on my phone with a super clingy DS straddling me and then do spreadsheet stuff after DS goes to bed. I fucking loathe DH at the moment.

I’m freelance. Could work from home or be classed as key worker but I’ve got kids at home so I’m not working at all. Not a lot of work around at the moment though

D. Both dh and I. Minimum wage factory fodder. Fortunately work for a decent company who are trying to keep us safe.

A business as usual. But I expect it will dry up in a couple of months

D, and working extra hours from home.
