So a couple of days ago my boss emailed me askingSen me to sign a form changing the terms of my furloug to the flexible furlough scheme. I phoned him to discuss it as I was not happy with the implications of signing this agreement. I meant that they could call me back to work at there whim and since I’ve cancelled all carer visits this could leave me in an unworkable situation.
My boss assured me that this wouldn’t happen and he had no intention to bring me back tI’ll October at the earliest. I asked why it was not possible for me to remain on the existing furloug scheme to which he responded that if I did not consent to the change of terms then I would lose my job. So not feeling I had much choice I signed the form.
This evening I had a phone call from my line manager telling me I was to attend a meeting next Thursday to prepare me for restarting work on the following Monday. I explained that i wasn’t able to attend a meeting as I had no one to look after mum and I only had carers on Monday and Tuesday, as they are well aware because those were the days I worked, and would be unable to attend. I was informed that failure to attend would result in me losing my job.
I work in a hotel. I do not consider it a safe environment with random people coming and going all hours of the day. I work in a tiny kitchen where social distancing would be impossible. I’m a full time carer for my mum. I’m between a rock and a hard place here.
Any suggestions?
