We've got a WhatsApp group going with a rule of positivity only. It's mostly full of funny links, praise to each other at the end of a hard day and pet photos haha. It's also a nice way for out self isolating co-workers or those working from home due to health conditions to keep in touch with the rest of us. |

"My friend hornymarriedcougar has just uploaded a photo in her outfit. She wants some fabs on her photo"
If she sees her uniform as an outfit to capitalise on then she shall receive no praise from me. |

There's plenty of folks on here who have photos of themselves in Uniform.
Sorry but I'm really not understanding where you're coming from. What does it matter. It takes nothing away from the amazing and stressful work they're currently doing. |

Of course they can, and everyone is thankful to them. Just seems a little I'll thought out to making an extra effort to get attention on here at this particular time?
You know as well as I do that service personnel often get lambasted on here for announcing their vocation? |

I have a thread on this. It is irresponsible especially when they have other public pictures of their face. Anything that brings your employers name into disrepute is a sackable offence. Being on a site like this would do exactly that. |

I can only speak for myself but I would like to thank all of the Frontline workers from doctors to shelf Packers in the shops you all deserve a medal for putting up with all the abuse that is rampant in all your lines of duty. people who moan & complain about all you godsends deserve a good kick up the arse I have seen people who treat the shop workers like shit.
if it weren't for those shelf Packers cashier's even cleaners we would be in a lot worse place so show your appreciation to them even if it's a thank you your doing a great job would be appreciated by any Frontline worker.
If they stop working we start starving.not forgetting the refuse collectors they haven't stopped either they are working through this so we can stay safe.
Thank you one and all. |

I work in the NHS although not as direct frontline, however I'm still manic busy and struggling to cope.
Today was my 9th day in a row at work, I've had to come home though as I am full of a cold and seriously need to recharge my batteries. |

Currently off work with symptoms but as I work for the nhs I'm lucky enough to have been tested. Hopefully its negative and I can get back to work. We're exhausted, anxious and scared about what's going on but all the lovely support we're getting really gives us a boost xx |

It is hard and will get worse. Being exhausted is not good but i am finding it difficult to sleep. Not being able to see my mum or daughter is not helping matters and knowing that my 2 well needed holidays have bn cancelled has added extra stresses. |

Honestly I'm terrified. My department is being redeployed with half a days training and it feels like lambs to the slaughter. If I survive this I'll be looking at leaving the NHS after 17 years service and retraining as something else sadly because I just can't face putting my family at risk like this again. As selfish as that sounds my son only has me.

Mini rant...
What about those who work in social care???
Seems we are forgotten about and yet we work with the most vulnerable children or adults in society. |

I'll be honest, I was burning out before all of this, to the point I had just got another position (due to start late april, not sure that will happen now!) However, actually having bureaucracy lifted and resources to work with, I have a new passion! There again, I love crisis response and quick turnover work |

"Frontline. Not enough PPE. Workforce dropping like flies (self isolation, shielding). Feels like the wheels are about to fall off. Scared. "
Similar in my area too. We are having to receive from Govt direct distribution at our site, stock take and issue as and when what is required. Stuff is already getting stolen all over the shop! This means some of my admin team and I are working longer and over weekends in able to provide supplies for the community/hospital staff. |

That's so true and I'm trying to do my bit for my local community by taking my daily exercise/walk dressed up in character costumes to raise a smile for the kids. What's taken me by surprise is the amount of adults that wait for me to walk past and wave. |
