Been stood down under the 80% scheme.
Net result is a £60 pay rise as I won't be commuting...
There is a catch though, as it stands, only four of the twelve people I work with have a job when flying resumes. I can therefore either sit and wait, or apply for other work and leave...
Thinking that sitting and waiting and using the time to renew my CPC and/or otherwise retrain would be a good idea.
-
Sad news..but....why wouldn't you renew your CPC? It's another string to your bow and this seems like the perfect opportunity.
-
The only reason not to would be availability... Bit difficult to attend courses if everywhere is shut down... :-\
Need to see just how much I get paid at the end of the month as I also need to replace the car, but that's a whole different saga :D
-
Good luck Al what ever you do ... :y
-
I think you're going to struggle to get anything done over the next few weeks to be honest Al. :-\
Collect your 80% and practice making sandwiches. :y
-
Ta :y
-
Difficult times for many, good luck with whatever you decide to do stay safe.
-
Maybe there's an online course to get your CPC back? :-\
They should scrap it anyway in January, as it was, it is and always will a load of bollix that has increased costs for haulage firms, reduced the pool of available drivers (especially the weekend warriors) and I doubt has made any marked improvement to road safety. ::)
-
Good luck with whichever path you choose :y

Sorry to hear that DG :(
If the worst was to occur, will you be in line for redundancy? If so that could be used for the best training / qualifications in another skill ;)
-
All CPC course have been suspended :P

anyone stopped will say " i'm out exercising"
I expect after a few more days we will get locked down properly

All CPC course have been suspended :P
If it's officially an emergency, it should be exempted ::) zero information online to suggest that this is the case though... :D

I might have worded it badly, Nobody is sitting CPC courses at the present time, If your current one expires, whilst the current state existing, you can carry on, and take at the first opportunity. If it's expired by a lot, someone might take you on,and retrain you at first opportunity,or in house ::)

September... Last year ;D
Will bear in mind :y
