    As above mate. I was but then took a mat cover promotion for 12 months on a fixed term contract. I had the option to go back to my old role but had done it for 4 yrs and thought that this 12 month mat cover would open other doors. It has done for everyone else who has done a mat cover in my...

    Because 11 months ago I went from my permanent contract of 9 years to a fixed term 12 month contract covering my old bosses maternity leave. Technically I've just come to the end of that contract and they're not renewing. Unless anyone knows differently. Employment law not my strong point...

I can't assume there'll be a position for me in July though...whilst I know for a fact that there's about 3 positions from 60 in our greater team that are currently...

    Just found out they've extended my contract until the end of June so I get 3 months furlough pay. I'll then be unemployed after 10 years service with no redundancy pay. Feels like a kick in the bollocks that I just drop of their radar after 10 years good service. I understand (I think) the...

    Three Years Ago Today

    What. A. Day. Just how proud I was of everything Coventry City FC related. After everything we'd been through up to that point, having been relegated and probably underdogs for the final, it was amazing to be part of what, 43k Cov fans singing the Sky Blue song. Goosebumps. A friends video...

    Friday is my last day as well Dave. I'm going off with a 40% wage reduction and no sign yet if my contract will be renewed once the maternity cover I took 11 months again ends mid-May. Hoping to get an email from HR today. Furlough I can deal with. 40% reduction in wages I can deal with (with...

    Hope so. I turn 40 in mid-late June and the wife turns 30 in mid July so we were planning a large party end of June. Reckon if the restrictions are lifted by then, we can have a brilliant celebration!!

    How are the new cases in the UK compared to the past few days? Is that continuing to flatten out?

    Agree with what you've said there. I think ze Germans take some credit though. Their numbers are decent - if that's a term that can be used in such a scenario. I know it's all down to medical provisions and testing etc. but still.
