peanut- posted:A combination of Rishi and the employer are going to pay, with the employer paying for more hours than they actually receive in labour. Seems daft. so its an insufficient lifeline to starving businesses and an incentive to fire employees (lol paying them for hours they dont work???) for big businesses this seems really bad. whats the goldman sachs angle here or is it just Neoliberalism Obviously Doesn't Work Vol 95?

SMH if you have to share your chauffeur with other people. (obviously during the pandemic he is not allowed to see his family so there is no risk of COVID transmission) I made chilli sauce! It's a Trinidadian recipe with mango and lime. I used scotch bonnets and the sauce is extremely hot so there's a nice tension between the delicious flavour and your mouth catching fire.

Communist Thoughts posted:so its an insufficient lifeline to starving businesses The maths of it for a company seem to be: - Pay 165% of a full time salary for 3 members of staff to work 33% of their hours - Pay 100% of a full time salary for 1 member of staff to work 100% of their hours, and sack the other two I don't understand it at all

it's based off the German flexible-time scheme, which is well-established it is necessarily the case that this will hold: peanut- posted:The maths of it for a company seem to be: because the policy intention is not to subsidize employing people who were not previously employed, or who would be permanently retrenched by the crisis anyway. The company must still want to retain the same people after the crisis subsides (paying that 65% premium); it is saving the cost of having to search for and replace people after the crisis ends. Nothing will be done about the shock itself; it is the excessive knock-on costs of responding to the shock that the policy will mitigate the main beneficiaries are skilled workers in organizations where a great deal of their productivity comes from intangible cohesion, culture, whatever, rather than raw hours put in. These would be permanently lost if large portions of people are retrenched and never return to the labour force (so the counterfactual goes), whereas lowering pay temporarily across-the-board would retain participation in the long-term if you want to poke at the ideological roots, there is perhaps a distinctly neoliberal outlook here in the form of 1) crises as temporary aberrations, and 2) policy mainly targeted at correcting market failures in responding to the aberration. You can taste the New Keynesianism in the policy focus on welfare costs measured in turnover 'search costs' and policy levers focused on cost-of-labour flexibility (the traditional UK equivalent of the same ideological vision, fwiw, is to let organizations die and instead subsidize the employee in job search after the crisis; post-Hartz Germany has much more austere Jobseeker's Allowance equivalents) ronya fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Sep 24, 2020 |

My mum is working from home in the first time in her life, but is also unable to properly afford heating this winter. I don't want her to be Bob Cratchit this winter, so is there any way her employer can put to for heating or anything? She is likely to be too scared to ask as she sees her job as so precarious, but if there was any sort of benefits to help with heating or support workers at home that could benefit the business with tax cuts or anything please let me know.

Everyone can claim heating and electricity contribution for working from home, the 2020/21 rate is £6/week without any documentary proof needed. Martin Lewis did a big write up about it here a while back: https://blog.moneysavingexpert.com/2020/04/martin-lewis--working-from-home-due-to-coronavirus--claim-p6-wk-/

Specifically I think if you want to claim it, that says you can get tax relief on £6 a week of income, so if you're below the personal allowance, presumably you cannot get any money from the government and would be required to ask your employer to pay it, which is what she is wanting to avoid. Also if you are on the 20% rate that is not £6 a week in your pocket, it's £1.20 a week.

Mebh posted:You can't say that and not share the recipe! Sure! I enjoyed making it but it did make the kitchen into a pretty hazardous place. I decreased the amount of mustard powder and green onion after a trial run, and added a couple of teaspoons of sugar to sweeten it up some more. It's very nice. I got the recipe online, but the idea of doing a Trinidadian one was from a friend of my brother's. He's from there and brought some of his Gran's home made sauce and it was fantastic. quote:Ingredients

Probably not, you'd just use whatever excuse you'd used to leave the house anyway - "Oh I must have picked it up when I went to that special late-night company meeting last week, remember?", unless the app pops up "You might have been exposed to covid when you checked in at Trixi, 21, Blonde, 2nd floor, 69 Frith Street".

Labour are also glad that politics is being taken out of the hands of the hoi-polloi. If that sounds like they're Tories to you, then well done.

It was the blue tick, I guess I’m just so used to a blue tick on Twitter actually being who they claim.  The chauffeur driven cars exemption is about like the grouse - they’re either trying to make a story to distract attention from other things, or they really, really don’t give a poo poo with this majority and this far out from an election.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Please stop doxxing me, I was attempting entryism into the tory inner circles. Then you've already failed. The establishment - from Tory MPs to Directors of Public Prosecution - much prefer Shepherd's Market to Soho. Closer to Whitehall, more discreet, and always with the excuse available that you were just taking a shortcut to Claridges. I'm sure it's just coincidence that MI5, MI6, and certain Royals have all had premises directly opposite over the years. (One rumour about the extremely odd locale of MI5's HQ in the 70s and 80s at the far end of Gower Street, miles away from the rest of Government, was that certain senior staff were altogether too "comfortable" with the Curzon Street offices, to the delight of the KGB)
