You drive me to the airport it's £50. I drop my wife/sister/maw off at the airport I don't feel I've actually done any work and certainly nowhere near £50 worth.

mizfit Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 My work has sent me a cryptic message just saying “HOME”. Not sure if I’m meant to go into work or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving someone to the airport and back is what, two hours? Would a plumber charge you less than £25 an hour? Does a plumber's tools depreciate with value every time they're used? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 A real job is the provision of goods or services that people are willing to pay you for. It's really as simple as that. If people no longer want, for example, taxis then taxi driver will no longer be a job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleMoo Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Tricky situation in the care sector; a lot of people who need support and care might not end up getting it. The sector is already at breaking point due to years of financial cuts. If this virus takes off as predicted it could be utterly devastating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm completely split; people need care, but they also might not need carers bringing the virus into their homes where other vulnerable family members/home-carers live. It's not really possible for me to work from home either so god knows what's going to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I agree with this but what proportion of the population does this apply to? I imagine about 90%+ of people are in jobs where this is not an option.Around 50% of the workforce are in office type jobs where working from home is possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they banning Europeans or just flight originating from European hubs? As usual Trump just garbles any old shire. Little did I realise that nobody travels from Europe to the US with a connection at Heathrow any more. It's like Dundee trying to block entry to Weegies by blockading the A90, whilst keeping the Tay bridges open because they don't mind Edinburgh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you work that out % in the first place? In any case I can do it because I can work on a secure VPN, would all or 50% of employers have that facility? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible in theory, however in practice it's completely different which I've already covered in a previous post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect everyone at the Tay Bridge to show their full travel history for the past few weeks, meaning any weegie would have to stay in Fife for a period before crossing the bridge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mum gets 4 or 5 lots of carers each day (2 carers each visit) and she's waiting for a place in a nursing home (which shouldn't be a long wait). They've said to her they might be forced to stop visiting. She spends every day saying she wishes she could top herself so would be more than happy for the carers to give her something deadly anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
