Gnasher - One company I know of has furloughed half their staff. Nothing to do with Covid19, just because they saw it as a way of saving some money (no idea how) with the idea that the back log of work done by manufacturing will be moved to the finishing area instead. Prior to Covid, the backlog was building up and finishing were keeping up with the work they were being passed with a small buffer inbetween the two areas. Now they want to build up the buffer so furloughed the finishers for a couple of weeks.
For what its worth, I am not furloughed. I have a good job and have been as busy as pre-Covid, or even busier as the customer I am working with at the moment is pushing a lot of work our way that is Covid related or can be done without site visits
Mtread - Some small businesses where the "employee" is also the "employer" ie a director with a salary rather than from the dividends alone have shut themselves down unnecessarily so fall into the category ecasue they misunderstood the need to close
