Re: Furlough

You should not be on Furlough, you should be on SEISS.

There is no Middleman with SEISS.

Re: Furlough

Well I’m going to say it again this is the most ridiculous thing ever .
We are going to have to pay for this furlough for generations.
People should be back at work and children should be in school .
Now.

Re: Furlough

I understand the thinkiing behind the furloughing nonsense but it was a VERY bad idea.

Re: Furlough

But it’s past time now .
If people are rioting Protesting and flocking to the beach they can go to work and school .

Re: Furlough

You don't get to choose to be on furlough!
My daughters have been furloughed, both are going back to work, one this week and one next week. They can't wait. The schools were closed and I couldn't help with child care.
One son in law and the other's partner have worked all through. If there hadn't been government help they couldn't have managed.
None of them have been protesting or breaking lockdown rules.
A lot of their friends are the same and some own businesses.
They and their children will be the ones paying along with funding our pensions.

Re: Furlough

My son Who has a small business and my DIL who is a key worker have worked all through too
They received nothing from the government .
