What's it like being on furlough during coronavirus?
A new type of post.... Hi Guys! It's been a while since you've heard from me, and a lot has happened since. I've graduated, worked, quit my job and now worked at another company. The current job meant that I was working in the travel industry, a industry where corona virus has hit the hardest. It's tough being in this climate, because of the uncertainty that comes with it. So, a few months back I was placed on furlough. What does this mean? It means that the government pays 80% of my salary up to £2500. Firstly, yes, I'm thankful that I still have income coming in. Secondly, it's great having all this additional time (to binge on netflix) and do DIY. However, being on furlough also has its negatives. For someone who suffers from anxiety, the situation is awful. Will I have a job? Will I know what to do when I return? What's next? As a recent graduate, although I do have experience I know many others will be competing for the same jobs in this difficult
