Your work situation (5 Viewers)

[7 - No tomorrow]

Big rush in to get this site finished for Monday morning and there’s so many trades here pulling loads of shifts that everybody is on top of each other.
2m distancing is impossible. This site is one big C19 superspreader.

Boston closed all construction sites

The only work allowed is to make work safe

I'm not exactly happy about it though

 

[ernesto]

Surely cutting down on staff numbers you could still keep a construction running / people working buy just have a skeleton crew keeping things going at a slow steady pace
So it’s not a complete waste.
I do understand that obviously is impossible on larger sites

The concern is that if work is not getting done, then my boss is not getting paid, and might get tired of writing checks

But we shall see

Anyone working from home this week, make sure you claim your extra allowance. It’s only €3.20 a day but better than nothing

Wow! I've been working at home for 2.5 years and didn't know about this

 

[Reets]

It’s up to the employer to pay it and they don’t have to give it to you. I’ll try find out if there’s any other way to get it if they refuse or just don’t have it and I’ll let you know.

People remote working can claim tax relief for lighting, heat and broadband

Employers can pay staff tax free to cover cost of home-working

That's rough. I really want to give my mother a hug

 

[Reets]

They’re testing the fire alarm in work and I’m taking calls from the public.
This is not helping tension levels for any of us .

Have you kids? I'm finding it brutally hard

Yep, two toddlers under two. Their mam is looking after them thank god. The work itself is very busy and stressing me out sitting in this poxy little room, added with the general feeling of being on edge and global doom. It's a strain.

Look after yourselves pricks.

 

[Lili Marlene]

God, anyone else work with people who read nothing and exist purely on a level of vague received wisdom and clichés but know AP style inside out so consider themselves "good writers" as a result?

Oh god. My sympathies

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I'm currently alternating one day in the office, one day at home. The home days are a bit of a drag although I have no toddlers to blame.
