Agency work is the biggest scam going by everyone aside the employees. The stories I’ve heard. Maybe second to bullshit “self employment” that isn’t.

Give your workers a proper job you scumbags.

Ed Milliband was right on tv on I think it was the Paxman interview when Cameron got sucked into Brexit. Brexit was not important, there were so many more day to day issues that needed fixing including the exploitation of zero hours workers. We've had it back to front since then. Hopefully this shit situation shines a light on what really matters.

I’m like you mate. Not registered with a GP since I moved. Been here 2 years now. Only registered before because the wife told me to. Not seen a doctor for about 20 years. Follow the “it’ll sort itself out” mantra. It’s scary to follow up on something like this, the anxiety of a basic check is the reason I’m not even registered. But the way things are at the moment it’s not worth risking it.

That's not how I recall that meeting. I'm pretty sure management informed all agency staff coming up to 5 years that they would be extending their service by another 12 months instead of automatically making them up to 'core'.
I don't know what the outcome has been for those agency employees. I'm fortunate in that I've been with the company for 25 years.

Maybe your right,cant really remember now tbh. I'm the same as you,been there most of my working life(26 years)so I tend not to pay attention at these big town hall meetings.

I agree in regard to training, but I'm not sure the furlough scheme covers non permanent employee's, also they will probably be offered the chance to return when things get going again, it's not like there is much for term to move onto in the meantime
Click to expand...
I don't know anyone that's agency so I cant really find out. Hopefully the company havent shit on them. Hopefully it does cover those that aren't on permanent contracts. Funny thing is,people seem to think I'm being paid just to sit on my arse for a couple of months. We've got to pay these hours back to the company be it 50 hours or 150..

Niall Ferguson said today we could see alifting on restrictions in 10 days when he thinks things could potentially start to plateau.
He did follow it up by saying as long as people keep following current social distancing guidelines. It could be a ruse to stop people taking the piss during the good weather of the next couple of days

We havent actually been told which. I had an email yesterday saying hr will be contacting us individually in the next couple of weeks to let us know if we are or not. But I check my wageslip online on a Tuesday and the hours we've been off so far are there as standown/banked hours. 70 hours think I owe them atm. It's a bit cuntish of the company to make us work them all back if we're on furlough. They'll try anything these days though to rinse more out of us.

Sad to see high daily death figures (although not unexpected as these are likely to continue for a few days yet) but new cases are down on yesterday which is a positive. If they can stabilise and/or hopefully reduce then the daily death numbers should reduce in due course

ps as has been indicated by others previously the weekend numbers can sometimes appear a little out of kilter

These are 5pm Thurs - 5pm Fri I believe so should be “weekday numbers”. Tomorrow and Monday may be suppressed if the theory is right, see if we get a spike Tuesday.

This feels like the last few games watching City, never able to properly celebrate a win because you just need to look to the next three games.

Coronavirus Update (Live): 1,138,646 Cases and 61,142 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Outbreak - Worldometer
Video: How to wash your hands properly

Number of cases and deaths
As of 9am on 4 April 2020, 183,190 people have been tested, of which 41,903 were confirmed positive.

As of 5pm on 3 April 2020, of those hospitalised in the UK who tested positive for coronavirus, 4,313 have died.

Data on UK positive and negative tests and data on deaths is updated on this page daily at 2pm or shortly after. The figures for test results and for deaths are compiled from different sources. This is why the figures for deaths are reported from an earlier point in time than the figures for test results.

In a perfect world they would like probably to keep Solihull going and close the rest. Most car lines lose money and CB has the profitable ones

Personally I'm not going to be racing to the pub or any other crowded place the minute they announce the removal of restrictions. Will be keeping contact to a minimum for a few more weeks and see how things are going.

Go to the linked site. USA filters through gradually. Currently only 3 or 4 states. Look at it about 10 pm. Click on the USA underlined at any time. Individual states then show up.

Sensible. I intend to do exactly the same.

Wish I could get that through to my 90 yr old dad though.

I just rang him to see what food he wants and he told me he went shopping himself this morning.
