Oh no that’s terrible - this is why this strategy is so wrong
Our office has just shut at 1pm for the foreseeable future. Voluntary redundancy letters expected 23/4 so don’t think I’ll work there again
Totally disagree, and I’m not being political, which is why yesterday he was like a rabbit caught in the headlights at his conference, suddenly throwing money galore at this virus the Government goofed big time with their stupid herd ideas, schools should have been closed two weeks ago and movement restrictions implemented, kids are the biggest carriers leaving this virus all over the place, there are people of all age groups now going down with this, my friends nephew aged 41, no underlying issues is very ill with it.
Things are coming to light all the time, there is now a thought that certain blood groups are more likely to get a more complicated version.
Back to Boris/Tories their dithering will be costly and will follow them for a long time.
Working from home anyway. What’s wrong with the strategy?Oh no that’s terrible - this is why this strategy is so wrong
Yours is I B positiveApparently blood group A are more vulnerable than other blood groups.
Might be rubbish, but everyone reporting it. I have no idea what my blood group is and I'm not going to find out now
Yup. Way down on normal figures.111 pages of people arguing with Grendel
Apart from they didn't waste days on theories that were impossible to follow through on.
Working from home anyway. What’s wrong with the strategy?
Days we actually bought with our tracing and tracking policy and ensuring people called 111 and self isolated.
I’m not going into it all again but as per the ICL report, this is now an 12-18 month issue which is going to lead to major disruption/human cost (which the government and their advisors were obviously desperately trying to avoid).
I’ll make my judgements when the dust has settled....which will be quite a while yet.
Ah so sorry the redundancies were happening any. Massive reorganisation of hmrcI think he means the knock of effect of redundancies.

How did we "ensure" that?
Written in a rush, will edit to ‘encouraging’ (disappointed you only pulled me up on that to be honest !)
Any jobs?Sorry to hear that Pete.
Schools closing by Friday in Wales and Scotland
Yep that sounds similarI don't know what its like for others, but I'm finding it impossible to even keep up. Can't get hold of people as they're dropping out en masse to self isolate, so can't get info from them which is needed, running projections on what happens if a facility is closed for 3 months which is hugely complex, everyone in mild panic or depressed and a lot of those working from home don't have wifi fast enough to run their systems, or they didn't realise they needed VPN to run them, not just "the internet". Its chaos.
I'm not going to go into the rights & wrongs of that, but speaking from experience when you throw kids off school into the equation its a bloody nightmare.
Any jobs?
I personally think they should stay open, this is going to cause Havoc especially with grandparents possibly looking after their grand kids because parents are at work!!!!

Yeah, I have a Romanian friend. She lives here, but went to visit home and now she says all the borders are shut and she can't get back.Supply chain chaos here.
We've got 20km tailbacks at the 2 main road crossings from West & Northern Europe.
Lorries with medicine and food (and toilet paper) been stuck for over 24 hours since borders were locked down.
Hungarian workers trying to return home.a lot of Romanians and Bulgarians trying to transit through even borders are closed - so they are blocking the roads out in protest.
This is all I'm dealing with at the moment. Trying to talk people through remote access that struggle to login when its just a matter of putting their username and password in when they're at the office.a lot of those working from home don't have wifi fast enough to run their systems, or they didn't realise they needed VPN to run them, not just "the internet". Its chaos.
What business chief?This is all I'm dealing with at the moment. Trying to talk people through remote access that struggle to login when its just a matter of putting their username and password in when they're at the office.
Frustrating as for years we've been advising clients to setup remote working, ironic really as it's not really used internally, and its been resisted with owners and managers saying its not possible for people to work remotely. Now, surprisingly enough, it is and people expect their entire company to be setup for remote working instantly as if its just flicking a switch. Of course they don't even consider anyone else might be doing the same so constantly chase as its 'urgent'.
The response from our managers, no concern about workload / pressure / if anyone might actually have the virus, instead we got told to work harder and be available, unpaid, evenings and weekends.
