How do those on here assume that thousands of staff doing nothing can be kept on the payroll until things get better. As for the last post 'call a strike' that is nonsense and the one before calling WW a psychopath should be removed. If threaders cannot contribute sensibly then say nothing. Peoples livelihoods are at stake here!
The staff understand the severity of the situation and I’m sure aren’t expecting to be fully paid (none I’m aware of currently are) to sit at home doing nothing.
An adult discussion, exploring options such as unpaid leave/sabbaticals, temporary pay cuts, part time working etc would have been a good starting point, rather than pulling out a grenade straight away.
