We do not have residency in Spain or any essential company work to do there so we are as i understand it not allowed into the country on April 5. i told the courteous young man that i understand their predicament and that they are hoping most passengers will cancel their flights, so as the company won't have to pay back the ticket, but informed him that we would do no such thing and that their offer of going sometime later in the year would be impossible for us, that we have only this window, adding that if they would put us on a flight to a high risk area in lock down where we are not wanted and told by authorities to stay away, there would be repercussions. He jotted everything down and promised to look into our particular case. You shouldn't be flying there with anyone i said, to which he hesitantly replied, well we are doing what we can in this difficult situation. Will just leave this clip here for your amusement Put the stupid woman into isolation for around 6 months - it's the only way some people will learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has led to some people staying on at work who may or may not be carrying the virus as they don't want to be seen as somehow disloyal or shirkers. I'm outta there and will be working at home for the foreseeable unless I'm needed for something that cannot be done remotely. This organisation? Three letters... begins with an N and ends in S. ?

ossieram Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 1 hour ago, 1of4 said: Depending how the company words it's policy on paying back unworked hours. A company I once worked for made me work, pay back, the same amount of hours as I had previously not worked. Meaning the first 24 extra hours I worked on my return to work were paid at the flat rate without any overtime premium. Ours would be paid back at time and a half for weekday and Saturdays and double time for Sundays. But because I don't do any work for the Toyota UK plant and deal with parts going to Europe, Turkey and South Africa, I've probably done less than 10 hours overtime this year and would be paying back for the rest of my working life.

JoetheRam Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Anyone more worried by a potential "lock down" scenario of police and the army patrolling the streets deciding who is and isn't allowed out, than the virus itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gap tooth ram Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Got told today annual pay rises have been scrapped and annual bonus due in June has also been stopped. Throw in a cancelled holiday to Gran Canaria at Easter (now moved to September - fingers crossed), my 87 year old gran with dementia and a serious heart condition being rushed into hospital with breathing problems (once treated told to get her back to the care home as its a safer environment for her right now) and now schools closing its fair to say it's been a poo week so far. Thought I was doing OK until I heard Eurovision had been cancelled, how will I cope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm concerned about trying to implement a lock down in a prison. Like theyre going to walk beind their doors the night before a lock down. We're outnumbered 30:1 as it is.

Pearl Ram Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I reckon The Queen will be allowed to do pretty much as she likes, William, Charles and Wayne Rooney will be given the freedom of the whole kingdom. That’ll be about it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
