State of the Market

Isn't he dead?

Reports of his death were greatly exagerrated. He's now a ghost.

I've just hit the bench. The new perm job I was due to start just got canned, 3 months into the pandemic...

Got a warchest to keep my going, but I'm not used to not working (only had 1 holiday in 2.5 years) so splitting hairs at the mo. I'll spread the seed and see what the market looks like.

Sounds like a porno scene

Good luck, enjoy your time off

For all those on the bench, looking for work, you have my empathy. I've had periods like that and I didn't like it. Look after yourselves in these trying times

Depending on how quickly you find a job, you might find being benched now more profitable than not... CJRS and payment holidays etc!

All these coronavirus schemes are a little confusing haven't looked into them until now.

Would I be eligible for CJRS? Ltd. director, but I take my monthly wage via payroll so am I technically not an "employee"?

Edit: did some reading and looks like I may be able to but seems the cut off is 10th June.

[GreenT]

yes, so hurry up
