A gin distillery in Leith announced it would be suspending spirit production and making high strength hand sanitiser instead in a bid to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Leith Gin said the hand sanitisers will be free and given to those who need it in the local community. The company made a call out for small plastic bottles with pump action tops. Manorview Group of hotels, including the Torrance in East Kilbride and Boclair House, which suspended businesses following extraordinary advice from the government for people to minimise social contact, offered the use of its rooms to the NHS in case it needs extra capacity. The company announced it would continue paying its entire workforce on 50% wages during the shutdown and will run a delivery service. In a statement, the company said: “We believe it is the right thing to do, to protect our teams and customers, to look ahead to the future, and hopefully we can all come back from this stronger. “We regret we are having to make this decision, but the safety and welfare of people is paramount. We are living in unprecedented times.” Edited March 18, 2020 by Florentine_Pogen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart. I know but they need the help, you can't really fill a shelf sitting on the couch & people are getting threatened on a daily basis due to our rationing policy so as their Manager I can't just sit here and do nothing.

Anyone who had been employed would then be getting the boot as demand drops, given how much it costs to recruit & train someone it would be an exercise in futility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few Supervisors but I'm the Branch Manager sadly. What happens when you're normally on leave. I understand you're concern but going in probably won't help in the long term because you might get infected. Even if you do you should be getting the hours back. Another point in managers "going above and beyond" it creates a culture of expectation. Senior managers will expect your less able contemporaries to do the same. Workers will also have the dilemma that you went in so will think they should too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to bet that most of your beloved team couldn't give a toss either, and would be glad to have the time off instead. Quote the reality is that this mayhem will be over in about 4 weeks when these maniacs finally run out of money or cupboard space. Erm yes - because by the time that the government announces an indefinite lockdown and supermarkets are one of the only businesses still open, then panic-driven demand at them can only fall. Let's hope they're not all running their supply chains according to your gormless forecasts or else we're all gubbed. Quote Anyone who had been employed would then be getting the boot as demand drops, given how much it costs to recruit & train someone it would be an exercise in futility. The warehouse that you were previously white knighting for is recruiting all over the country right now to meet that demand. But it's cute to see that you've added 'saving the faceless corporation extra recruitment costs' to your uncompensated remit. The CEO will be thrilled to know that he can spend more time on the golf course now that he's got you working on that one for him as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
