Similar position.
My rant is more at the company though. I asked for the direct to rehire/furlough scheme as endorsed by the government after working there for eight years expecting at least a smidgen of support. Their reply, a condescending tonal nightmare (unless I'm misreading it). I don't think they even read about the scheme, as they go on about business support, not support for actual human beings.An Extract :
At COMPANY we are currently experiencing a high demand for our products and our sales continue to grow week on week. This is great for us as a business and means that we can continue to operate as normal for our staff, our customers and our supplier. We feel that we are currently not in a position where we will be seeking the support of the various government initiatives, grants or loans.
Your request for an extension or further support is something that we will not be supporting.
