Coohoolin posted:i'm pretty sure being furloughed at one job is not impacted at all by you taking on another job if you wanted to. your employment contract almost certainly says you cannot take any other additional work without approval in normal times when you’re on gardening leave at the end of one job, you couldn’t start your next job early the government have been lobbied to put a specific override into law regarding the pandemic furlough fund, but have not done so yet you might say it’s petty control freakery of your manager to block you taking other work while furloughed, but they’re probably also worried about you being unavailable if they want to take you off furlough at short notice. so I’d recommend speaking to them and getting written agreement first. or work cash in hand with no records and hope for the best

But they are desperate to avoid carrying the can for this gently caress up. why do you think forming a government of national unity is less worse than continuing with their large majority to govern alone? you don’t see it happening in other countries affected as badly or worse by the pandemic. as bad as this gets, it’s not an existential threat to the UK itself

OwlFancier posted:I'm not really sure how else to look at it? If you support it why not sign it? If you don't sign it, does it not raise questions as to whether you support it? politicians have been capable of setting out their positions without signing up to these sort of third party pledge cards before sign one and not only do you invite an endless stream of every other campaign demanding you sign yours too, but you’re holding yourself hostage to interpretations of the text that might be a lot stricter than what you intended. I think we know that for all his faults, Starmer isn’t going to do an Orban in the unlikely event Labour take absolute power. pledge card or no pledge card e: no that sounded too glib. obviously there’s a wide ability to be poo poo on trans rights without being as bad as Orban. sorry.

goddamnedtwisto posted:I'm asking the question already knowing the answer in my heart, but you can't get UC/JSA if you quit your job, can you? Even if you quit because your company is forcing you not only to come in to work when there's nothing to do, but threatening to dock your wages if you're not in exactly 9-5 even though that means you have to travel on public transport at the busiest time? you can claim straight away, but if the DWP don’t accept that your reason for quitting was good enough your first 3 months will be sanctioned. no idea how the situation you’ve described would play out. but if they can afford the 20% pay cut for going on the government furlough scheme that could be a better option if the company accepts the suggestion

fwiw our management are working on a projection that Sept 2020 entry cohort will be generating 40% less in tuition fee income than planned although these are also the management whose contingency plan for campus closure before now assumed two weeks max so possibly optimistic lol we’ve been ordered to take rotating furloughs through the team even though it’s back office stuff not affected by campus closing plus all the usual stuff from a budget crisis like cap-ex budget reduced to zero, all hiring frozen, voluntary redundancies to be started soon, management taking paycuts there is no money to refund students, barring a giant loving miracle. there’s a lot of unis in worse shape than us. going to be bankruptcies e: to add, it really sucks that you’re not getting the face-to-face teaching you expected when you signed up. but the teaching that you are getting isn’t costing the uni any less to provide unfortunately Cerv fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Apr 7, 2020 |

Jakabite posted:This last part shouldn't matter and we wouldn't let this be a reasonable excuse for any other business or institution - if the unis are struggling they need to be putting pressure on government. This is how I see a lot of this working tbh - consumers/workers put pressure on organisations and those organisations push the pressure up the chain, with the ideal being the government eventually being forced to levy a massive temporaroy (or not) tax on mega-corps. Well, that or a breakdown of capitalist society into successful anarchism but I don't think the population is ideologically primed for that. pretty much agree, it shouldn’t work like this and wish best of luck to student unions who I assume are organising for putting pressure on for a change of tack

coop this morning had a sign by the till asking “please consider if your lottery ticket / scratch card is really an essential purchase” if we come out of this crisis with a permanent cultural shift from ‘the customer is always’ right to passively aggressively telling your customers to gently caress off, that’d be a silver lining I look forward to being able to do that

Catzilla posted:My local coop will only sell lucky dip lottery tickets now. I think as a knock on effect, there maybe a huge shortfall in funding to the arts, culture and museums sector as lottery revenues plummet. I expect you’re right. unless most people just shift to buying their tickets online. bad timing when it’s exactly now that the Arts Council will need more money to bail out orgs hit by losing all ticket sales, that the AC would have less money not more.

I mean otherwise why does it matter if a dead body sees me with a hat on? like most things around funerals it’s not for the benefit of the deceased, it’s for the bereaved. you’re showing a mark of respect. so making a deliberate point to not do it has no purpose other than disrespect. maybe it is a pointless tradition, but that’s not a hill worth dying on.

peanut- posted:Reads like the current owners came up with a nice scheme to completely shaft the staff and other creditors, but are instead likely to get wiped out themselves (by another group who may also be scummy). put the company into liquidation on the assumption that no-one else would be interested in buying it. they get the assets (the brand basically) cheap, and the liabilities are gone. creditors are shafted getting only pennies on the pound. staff laid off cheaply. a cosy stitch-up. but, now a rival bid has come in who are offering more cash and to pay the liabilities in full. so the independent liquidators, whose sole job is to find the best return for creditors, are obviously going to be taking that instead unless the current management can come up with something bigger to trump it. good! I hope they learn an expensive lesson, and it serves as a warning to anyone else who thinks they can use one weird trick to escape their liabilities at everyone else’s expense.
