Title: Employees refusing to work
Post by: Richard iSparkle on May 03, 2020, 01:10:44 pm
A good article in the guardian today..

It’s written for employees but useful for us employers too..

It has an interesting Q on whether employees can refuse to return to work...

It says the government has published clear boundaries for health and safety and distancing etc. If your employees following these then you should be in work or could face unauthorised leave

I can’t think of anything worse than sitting on my arse for nearly 6-8 weeks so far I’d go loopy,if they still don’t want to come back to work they either think sod it he’s getting my money for me at the moment.
Saying that the most likely reason is they are lazy barstards making the most of it.

Nightmare I’m trying to work as per usual not working since early March just being at home would be like being in prison,some people love it as long as they are getting free money.
The closer it gets to having to go back the more people are saying we shouldn’t go back yet lol,one thing about this  Virus it shows up all the lazy arses 🤣.

I read that earlier too. My refusenik returns tomorrow. He’s not going to be happy though as there’s written warning sat on my desk for him.

They are talking about letting people back into pubs today but you couldn’t for the life of you go out and start cleaning some windows lol,I wouldn’t even bother to get involved in arguments whether or not you can work outside now.

So ‘they’ are not talking about opening the pubs again.

Some rogue landlord has decided he’s bored.

So once again you are listening to journalists and crappy media outlets and passing off their nonsense as facts. Nice one.

They were filming in a pub showing you what they’ve done in preparation for opening,stop being a sheep and start being a goat and thinking for yourself for once.

Changed the turbo on the van it didn’t need changing but the turbo gasket was leaking oil so I thought I’d change it anyway as it’s a ball ache again if it did happen to just go anytime soon,anyway shouldn’t you and the other flock of sheep be out in the field by now.
