Just got furloughed. 09:21 - Apr 3 with 1992 viewshampstead_blue

50% of the charity has had the letter and the rest have taken a 20% pay cut.
My role has all but stopped as I run the consulting side and that's stopped.

Sad because I was authoring on a paper for the Office of Veterans Affairs. Still, most has been done so not doubt my CEO will finish it and make me a 'contributor!'.....

Feels a bit odd. Hopefully at the end of May things will have turned....

Has anyone else had this happen?

Nope, still working but less effectively than normal (if that's possible).

So then, you've got a nice long part-padi holiday ahead of you. Going anywhere nice?

Not to me, but to my son. Half his team have been furloughed, the other half, including him, are still working but on a 20% pay cut.

I hear the bathroom is quite popular at this time of year... you just have to be careful the Germans haven't already got their towels in there though.

I might just take loads of gin and CBD oil and drift off on a sleepy trip!

I do know that I can do a lot more physical training and cricket skills now. My eldest is on leave so we will be busy in the garden and rec.

Mrs H is still working so I fear that any plans I have are now educating Rory and cooking supper.

I don't mind as I wasn't earning my way, although I've bought in 5 times my cost in fees! Still my role is to make us sustainable.

Still working here. In fact I'm working in bed today so far, still in my PJs. I could get used to this isolation lark!

have furloughed everyone we can, all on full pay. the problem is those who now have about 5% of their job remaining, but, since we still can't do without that 5%, can't be furloughed.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

Help me understand this.

One lot get to stop working for 80% pay. The other lot get to carry on for 80% pay. How can that possibly be fair?

It's not really, but looking at it from a positive view point, it seems they view him as less dispensible than some others in his team, so if things don't pick up and they end up axing people properly, it's less likely to be him.

Seems to me that those who continue working ought to get full pay.

Contractually they are probably entitled too...

Nothing is fair. Life's not fair. You just accept it and crack on.

The remaining members of our charity have all taken a 20% cut in pay to still work.

it's also about which parts of the business are still operating.
The part I run has stopped dead in its tracks.

My last piece of work was done so if I did stay on I would be detracting from the welfare side, that I'm not prepared to do.

I'm furloughed from Monday on 80% of national minimum wage.

There was a rise in the national minimum wage from 1st April, but I'm being told I will receive 80% of what I was being paid on 28th February. Does anyone here know whether my employer is correct?

Probably because none of them get to choose whether their job is vital or not. To fail to pay anything to those who cannot work really isn't fair and to continue paying staff at full pay when the company is at best getting part revenue and in many cases none, isn't feasible for companies.

This virus is not fair. Those who are best off need to take responsibility for looking after the poorest in society. The alternative is that the rich look after themselves and the poor die.

EDIT: As for the OP, yes, there are people I know who are furloughed. I am working from home but now on holiday.
