Not just economic. It had really got me down. I have been Furloughed since last week in March. I work as a shift / team leader in automotive supply. Furloughed on 80% of basic wages, I am a shift worker, No shift allowance included (although they could have included this in the claim) So actually getting 65% of normal pay. Mrs T is a part time nursery teacher. I am £600 worse off in my pocket per month and nothing from Mrs T. We have managed so far as we had savings and have cut our cloth to to suit. But I have sat here wondering if I will ever go back. My teams are now back but run by the managers (managing without team leaders) Empty days without purpose. I got myself a job, 3-4 hours a night sorting parcels, Min wage and have to pay 40% tax lol. So pick up £5.20 per hour.
But its so good to talk bollox to other blokes and have the feeling that I am needed again. I had to buy some safety shoes £18 I had to laugh as it was over 3 hours wages.
So many people will never go back, If TV can manage with one camera and no make up artists etc are they ever going to go back again I am luckier I will collect 19 years redundancy
