The links I gave you will give you the figures. Main reason I know is that I have inside knowledge. My sister lives in Aberdeen. Local papers are full of rigs being stood down to maintenance only status or closed down completely. This has been one of the main reasons for the drop in maintenance costs. My bother-in-law used to be Trump's chauffeur & tells some marvellous stories. His son is also on the rigs, but stood down at this time.
All, info for anyone furloughed - it appears that a company can request that employees take accrued leave while on furlough where they offer to pay you 100% of salary as opposed to 80%. Furlough is not interrupted. I suspect we can all see the reason why this might be advantageous for them but not for the employee. I shall be declining their request. Be careful out there.
I think everyone should sod off back to work!!!! Can’t get on the golf course because of bloody furlough.
Then there are agency workers like me who have no wages since early march. They refused to furlough us as they would have to pay extra in the holiday fund. I have had three days work in all that time.
But he should have been paid more as agency staff when he does have work, so perhaps shouldn't have spent so much on women and holidays?
I got a reply this morning saying only those on longterm placements would have been considered. Long term and agency are not two words I would use together. So basically it's just an excuse to pay nothing then. They must think i am thick.
Johnson added: “The tragedy of the stooge is that . . . he wants so much to believe that his relationship with the candidate is special that he shuts out the truth. The terrible art of the candidate is to coddle the self-deception of the stooge.”
“he spent all his money on beer, women and holidays - the rest he just frittered away” I genuinely thought wakey was retired given the amount of time spent holidaying. no fun having no cash coming in... hope it picks up fella
A wise man once said to me, how can you ease lockdowns when there are still deaths and new cases in your community? So I wonder how it's possible for the UK?
... because they want us to catch it - herd immunity is still unofficial policy. as Dominic Cummings said ”Get the economy going, do what’s best for the majority, fck the old and the fat... they’re just a drain on the NHS anyway.”
Mexico.. Netherlands and Belgium plus Sweden seem about right but the rest are just not correct in my view.
