"think when furlough ends in october is when your gona see lots of lay offs.could make unemployment in the 80s look like a tea party I think you've right "My son and his GF had plans to get longer hours once they'd finished college. Instead, they got nothing for 4 months, 1 month of the odd shift and now nothing again and uni starts in 3 weeks. They wanted to be independent(ish) but no such luck. | |||

I hate to say it but you may well be right there is a reason why DWP are recruiting Work Coaches and job centres may be opening Monday to Friday 8.30 am to 8.00 pm and on Saturdays 9-5 | |||

"I have lost all of my income due to the virus. My work is in the hospitality industry and at the moment there is no sign of recovery in my field. I am self employed with stock that I have to store and and have no way of selling. I am likely going to need to retrain and find a new career or employment path. It is very worrying for me and many others in a similar situation." Good luck to you. It will work out I'm sure. | |||

"I lost my job on the Thursday just before the furlough scheme was introduced. Damn that is Grim. Have you found anything else?" There’s nothing permanent in my field and I’m now seeing a lot of redundancies happen. Fortunately I could pick up freelance work for the last 6 months or so which has kept me ticking over. However, I’m not sure how much there will be moving forward. | |||

"I actually have my current job because of Covid and the longer this all goes on for really is better for me "job wise". " I'm in the same position; and I'm well aware of how very lucky that makes me. In the 80's, I was long term unemployed and it was tough going; but, as has already been said, the coming unemployment will be worse. Why? Well, back then, the cost of living was a small fraction of what it is today. Very many fewer people had mortgages and credit cards. There's a lot more to be lost - that simply can't be sustained without even a below-average income, carefully managed. The furlough scheme was necessary, to buy the Government time to plan for mass unemployment and what training and job creation measures they intend to take, to alleviate it. I really hope they have put that time to good use; though I fear they haven't. | |||

We will all be paying for this mistake for years to come - and life will have to go on. So it was all for nothing." It wasn't all for nothing. It was to prevent a far higher death toll. The Government felt that was a priority. So did most of the population, or they wouldn't have locked down; even now, most of us are trying to do what we can to prevent the spread of the virus. You are right that it has come at a very high cost - and that the virus is still out there; but it was done out of humanity and respect for human life. You're entitled to believe a greater death toll would have been a better option; but it hasn't done the USA any good, has it? I don't think anyone who holds your view is a bad person; I'm just glad the Government - and most of the rest of us - disagree with you. | |||

"Myself and doughnut was made redundant at the end of August, not only was we made jobless but homeless too, we lived and worked in a small Gatwick hotel. Our old boss spoke to us at the end of June and asked us if we wanted to stay on to the end of furlough but he couldn't afford to pay the top up, we refused because A we was already on a very low wage which was even lower on furlough B law says he had too pay the top up and C we would have just got made redundant at the end of October anyway after the last furlough pay, so why wait even longer. Up until Monday we had no idea where we would be living, with no savings we had to go and claim universal credit and trying to find private housing while claiming this is very hard to find, while they cant discriminate people on housing benefit anymore there is loopholes for landlords. Monday we literally had to go to the council offices with all our stuff and officially be homeless, thankfully they found emergency housing for us until a temporary home can be found, and not knowing what area we will be given means it's impossible to find a new job. I always say there are people out there alot worse off than us, but last Monday it felt like my whole world was crashing around me. Things will get better, where we have been placed isn't a dive thankfully. Danish x" . Sorry to read that your world has come crashing down on you it obviously a life changing moment for you.If your Universal Credit is up and running you may want to consider a advance where you can get some money upfront but your Universal Credit will be lowered until you payback what you borrow it’s interest free.Also pleased do not feel embarrassed or ashamed to request a food bank slip / referral from the job centre or be directed to your nearest food bank. | |||

"I moved to Spain last year as a singer. I had a couple of residencies with a contract. Now, because I’m not self employed, I’m not seen as a professional and not allowed to work. Only self employed entertainers are professional it seems, despite the fact this had been my sole income for 30 years. There are no jobs here, I can’t even get a job as a chambermaid and believe me, I’ve tried. All my savings are gone, my rent is due, I’ve literally half a bag of pasta left in the cupboard and can see no way out of this. I’m sick and tired of fighting and struggling. I’m hungry and annoyed at the poor me’s moaning about holiday plans and weddings being postponed (selfish of me yes I know) I no longer know what to do as I’m likely to end up homeless, having lost everything I have worked so hard and sacrificed so much for And I’m one of the lucky ones "Very sad to hear,any chance of returning home ? Just a thought, but there are loads of people that have flights booked that won't be going and their return seat could possibly be transferred. If we had some I'd certainly offer it to you. Don't be too bitter about the "poor me's" just remember they paid your wages for the last 30 years and hopefully will pay them again . | |||

I honestly think the lockdown is going to bring huge mental health problems in the coming years.
It probably will.
Due to the fact that people who don't have savings are fucked.
People will quite literally starve and become homeless and in financial troubles they will never recover from.

" Just as long as you and yours are alright then

Oh the irony.
If you are 'at risk ' then you should be isolating and letting the rest of us get on with our lives.
It's too late now as so many of us have lost our livelihoods.

"After 35 years in businesses as a commercial, advertising & event photographer my work has tailed off drastically. Not sure what the future holds. Plus missing my regular gig in the swinging world as in house photographer for Radlett Parties.
They allow photos to be taken? Not sure I’d like that? Where do they get posted out of interest? "Though off topic - in reply to @_hickennchips concerns - like all clubs Radlett Parties had banned the use of cameras by guests, however with their themed events & the effort many of their guest's put into their outfits a few years ago Janet & Richard decided to trial me running a themed on site portrait photo studio in one room where if couples or small groups wanted they could have their photo taken. The photos are then sent electronically to the individual guests after the party, with guests only getting the photos they are in. There are no online galleries. Working this way preserves guest's privacy & is also GDPR compliant. Though I only shoot guests who ask me to, in the 3 years Radlett Parties have been employing me to offer the service it has become very popular with about 50% of guests wanting photos as a memory of the evening. The studio is particularly popular on the Summer Ball, Back to School, Halloween & NYE nights. To answer the specific questions "They allow photos to be taken?" Guests have to ask me to shoot them. "Not sure I’d like that?" Those who don't want photos don't ask me to shoot them. Where do they get posted out of interest? That is the choice of the people in the individual photos, Radlett Parties do not post the photos anywhere. I have noticed there are several couples on Fab using their photos taken at Radlett on their profiles, since they are the only people in the image there is nothing to stop them posting them if they so wish. | |||

"Self employed pasterer. Plaster dissaperaed from the builders merchants straight away as soon as covid started. Returning to the merchants down south 1st, before slowly appearing in the midlands in limited bag numbers. A bag of plaster is normally £6.98 per bag. But during lockdown was selling on the black market for £50 a bag, when any become available. Im having to travel down south to surrey/sussex from lincolnshire, every week, just to earn some money. Till work picks up around me " I can relate to this. As other halfs work dried up, self employed heating engineer, he did want to do things around the house, but simple things like ready mixed plaster, sandpaper etc...couldn't find for love or money. When he did find it, well...highway robbery! | |||

"Obviously our club has been closed since March and we've had no personal income in that time. We are still working in the background, doing repairs, improvements, building new websites, an app, accounts etc...but for zero income. We are in a catch-22 situation really. We don't want to spend any business money on major improvements in case we can't open until next year, by which time, we will really be struggling to stay 'open'. What is the point making big changes on a business that may not open? We're doing fundraising to help keep us afloat and so far it's really helping, but we don't have a personal income. I'm doing some other work on the side but can't work full time as the club still takes up our time. We still get tons of emails, calls and messages on here from people who can't understand why the club is still closed during a pandemic and those who ask 'are you REALLY closed though?' Like we're throwing daily gangbangs under the radar. We still have to go to the club 3-4 times a week to do security checks and do minor maintenance. A good business person needs to know when to cut their losses and walk away. We're not there yet, but the local lockdowns and the potential 2nd wave and national lockdown will put everything back and this could be a problem. I don't think people realise how much it costs to keep a closed business solvent! Lol So we haven't lost our job yet, but we have lost our income. If this rumbles on indefinitely, we will both lose our job and our business which has been a labour of love for so long. It's frustrating as private parties are going on up and down the country, but clubs must tow the line. Even though the pandemic could result in us losing so much, we have gained a lot too. We no longer work 90 hour weeks, we eat and sleep at normal times and rediscovered so much about each other. Yes we are skint but we are rich in many other ways. " Fingers crossed you pull through this and get back to normal as soon as possible I'm guessing your getting pretty close to pulling your hair out stage seriously hope things get better for every one soon | |||

" I'm glad you see ways to find the positives in the current situation and I hope that you do make it through as a solvent business. You also give such in-depth and supportive advice to other venues or potential venues, and your attitude always shows that you really care about lifestyle and the community. I've only heard good things about to your venue although I'm yet to visit. Hopefully I will make it there what the time is right.  | |||

I know what he said - which is why I said the essence of what he said is correct - the public sector is a better place to seek employment at the moment. Actually to describe the effect of covid on the private sector as a hatchet job is incorrect - it’s more like the chainsaw massacre . | |||

"Lost mine in march, still haven't found a new one Try the state sector they're expanding while a hatchet has been taken to the private sector. In essence this is very true ... Well it's not is it? No "hatchet'has been took to the private sector. They have suffered because of corona The private sector is therefore tasked with dealing with the admin side of the crises.(furlough etc) However I haven't seen 100s of jobs advertised..so as per its bollocks. Private sector job losses are not happening or public sector job redundancies happening in the same way as the private sector ? You’ll be telling me next that HMRC doesn’t have enough work and are laying off people due to covid? Public sector is best place to look for employment . Tell me where I said the public sector were laying people off? Cheers. So you do in fact agree with the essence of the op post - public sector is a safer bet when looking for employment. So you just going ignore what I asked you? I didn’t say you had said lay offs were happening - I said you might say that, given your comment that the op comment wasn’t true . So you agree that public sector is best place to seek employment ? Maybe you should read what he actually said He said a hatchet has been took to the private sector. A lot of businesses have suffered very true..but noibe took a hatchet to them.They are suffering due to covid And certain parts of the private sector have actually prospered but there has been a big hit. He also said the public sector was expanding.. so you are once again making up the 'safer bet'argumemt. I get daily updates for jobs and there are certainly not loads and loads of new jobs being created. I know what he said - which is why I said the essence of what he said is correct - the public sector is a better place to seek employment at the moment. Actually to describe the effect of covid on the private sector as a hatchet job is incorrect - it’s more like the chainsaw massacre ." How can you describe a sector which contains stockbrokers down to delivery drivers as 1 group? Its utterly ridiculous. | |||

" As long as you’re prepared to earn shit money of course
Exactly.
Most people are better off on benefits than to take some crap job that will destroy your soul for £8.75 per hour!
I'm so upset about it all - I'm going to look amazing though - as I now can't afford to eat "You look amazing anyway x | |||

" Just as long as you and yours are alright then
Thats exactly what I was thinking .
Oh the irony.
If you are 'at risk ' then you should be isolating and letting the rest of us get on with our lives.
It's too late now as so many of us have lost our livelihoods.
The economy is fucked and most of us won't get out of debt or be able to afford to live.
"Hang on a minute. Whilst I have great sympathy with those who have lost jobs and some of these stories are heartbreaking. I'm 37 years old with a job,a family and friends and a life to live too. Through no fault of my own i have a condition that makes me valuable and we have had to shield and my job is at risk too. Whilst I understand that things are terrible for people who lost there jobs im getting really angry at the constant suggestion that people like me should just be shut away so the rest of you can lives your lives. There are no easy solutions but its not fair that the most vulnerable are being blamed. | |||

"Number of deaths stands at 41,000 , number of jobs lost so far is far higher than that, number of unemployed is expected to top 8 million once lockdown is over and all government help stops,a generation of young adults will never know anything but a great depression that will make 1929 look like a picnic, all for 41,000. Lets assume that 100,000 deaths from covid is the final number now work that out as a percentage of 66 million people, and the damage it has done to the economy, and how many people will die from cancer because they did not receive treatment quickly enough." | |||

"Its really not that simple though because if we don't limit the spread by having some forms of restitutions in place then the NHS will be overwhelmed and people still wont get ongoing treatment for other health issues and the death toll will be way over 100,000. | |||

"Also we are not talking small numbers here, there are over 11 million over 75's and around 3 million school and working age people in the UK that are shielders so that's around 16 million people and what about the people they live with as they would have to shild too or the shielder has to separate from the people we live with. So we are talking about 18 million ish people here. Like I said its not easy but why should these people sacrifice their lives and well-being for yours. I hope everyone that has lost their jobs get a new one very soon but like I said its not as simple as shutting people away. " I never said it was simple. Just as long as you're alright though yeah | |||

"Of this Covid shit show? " Self employed sport coach. Governing body states coaching can recommence when 2m rule is reduced to 1m. Hmmm so I could work in England now. Ain't gonna happen in Wales for the foreseeable though. | |||
