I hope Goof is okayHad a fallout with my boss yesterday morning and walked out of work so wasnt really in the mood to post. I think i'll still have a job after all this blows over but if not, hey-ho.
Damn, that really sucks mate, sorry to hear that. What happened? If you don't wanna talk about it, I understand.Im fine mate, sorry if i worried you
The government issued a countrywide lockdown on monday night, we'd gone in yesterday morning and had a chat amongst ourselves before he arrived and pretty much decided we'd finish off the important jobs, get cars back to customers, then shut up shop. From what i can gather he'd arrived and went through to the paintshop, Gordon told him what we'd discussed and he started acting like a dick. Came through to the panelshop, voice raised, "right, i need everyone into the office right now, we need to have a meeting" - i said i'm not going into a tiny office with 7 of us in there and he spouts some bullshit like "oh for fucks sake, youre not gonna catch it here blah blah blah....... there's the fucking door then (pointing at the front door)" so i just walked straight out and came home.
My neighbour Gordon walked out this morning after finding out one of our other worker's uncle and auntie are both in hospital and have tested postitive. I think the workshop will be closed very soon. Choice between dying or losing your job isn't a choice. tbh i've had bigger fallouts with him before so i'm not too worried. I'm sure he knows i was in the right.he's just worried about losing his business/livelihood which i can understand....... just a shame he can't act like a normal human being at times like this.

Yeah, he should have understood it was all about safety. It's like myself, I'm not so much worried about catching it because I'm in decent health, but I don't want to catch it and then pass it on to someone who is in the really "at risk" group. Like the wife's parents are both in their 70's and both have health issues. I could never live with myself if I knew I was the one to catch this virus and passed it on to them and they ended up getting seriously sick, or even worse, died.
I'm sure it will blow over with him and I'm sure he's just worried about his business like you said.

Yup, that's just it - if i caught it that would be bad enough, but if i passed it to my dad.........

Not sure how much longer we'll be open TBH. Even though manufacturing is exempt from being shut down right now, incoming jobs have REALLY slowed down.
Oh good, you've found each other
