Mice! Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 3 hours ago, Scully said: It had to happen. Two of the staff in local have been pinged, but as they’re both under 20 they’re both sat at home watching Netflix and doing their nails. Meanwhile, 11 other staff ( all adults and breadwinners ) have all to self isolate until the 6th August. This means the outside catering vans are shut down, losing two venues they were booked to attend, and outside staff have been employed to cater to a wedding this weekend, thereby saving having to cancel, but the pub has closed, losing a few grands worth of trade, and the village PO is closed as the lady who runs it works part time in the pub kitchen. Way to go Jose! 🙂 They said on the radio this morning that many areas in the Lakes are struggling for staff, with many being pinged, but they were struggling before this because many folk had to find other jobs. 2 hours ago, mel b3 said: Well I'm gutted . I've got so much to do at home , and I'd be over the moon to get pinged so that I can get ten days off .

True. I assume it’s the same throughout the hospitality industry really. At the Rheged Centre they are upping their game to attract staff with increased hourly rates and all manner of incentives; it would seem minimum wage just doesn’t cut it any longer, and rightly so.

That's it, plus Brexit so a lot of the foreign workers will have gone. The radio was saying that places were getting friends and family plus kids to help out. I don't understand why people in this industry would have the app though, unless they want sending home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
