O final de Furlough será um momento difícil para milhares de funcionários. Voltar ao trabalho após meses de conjuntos de caixas, a educação em casa e o bricolage não serão fáceis. A desmotivação, a perda de habilidades e a confiança causarão problemas. Estarei interessado em seus números de produtividade em mais ou menos um ano. A pandemia deu à gerência a chance de examinar suas necessidades de longo prazo. O "novo normal" em que estamos emergindo pode significar grandes mudanças nas demandas dos clientes. Pelo contrário, se você é um motorista, chef ou construtor de caminhões, geralmente pode nomear seu próprio preço para salários devido à escassez. Quase todos os restaurantes que eu passo têm uma grande placa do lado de fora implorando para a equipe. A indústria de transporte foi atingida por um triplo Whammy. A PingDemic está mantendo muitos motoristas isolados. O Brexit nos privou de muitos trabalhadores da UE e há longos atrasos nos testes de direção de caminhão por causa da impossibilidade de distanciamento social no táxi. Parece que teremos um boom não uma depressão após a pandemia e, à medida que as empresas se recuperarem, elas estarão procurando por equipes. Ganhamos uma maior apreciação de onde vivemos. Isso se aplica ao círculo eleitoral parlamentar em que residimos? O distrito eleitoral de Lakeland do sul de Lib Dem Tim Farron é abolido como parte dele se vincula a Morecambe. Burnley está ligado ao BACUP e há uma nova divisão Pennine Moors. O problema de Wirral ter muitos parlamentares é resolvido não por um assento cruzado de Mersey anteriormente discutido, mas por um rearranjo complicado de assentos ao sul, envolvendo alterações no sul de Wirral e dividindo Chester.

There is set to be a big tussle between some employees and bosses who want them back in the office when infection rates are still high, although some firms seem to think they can run their companies at long range from their employees permanently. I’ll be interested in their productivity figures in a year or so.
For some the end of furlough is likely to mean the end of their job. The pandemic has given management a chance to take a long term look at their needs. The “new normal” that we are emerging into may mean big changes in customer demands.
Not that the employment market is all doom and gloom. On the contrary, if you are a lorry driver, chef, or builder you can often name your own price for wages due to shortages. Nearly every restaurant that I go by has a big board outside begging for staff. The haulage industry has been hit with a triple whammy. The pingdemic is keeping many drivers isolated. Brexit has deprived us of many EU workers and there are long delays in lorry driving testing because of the impossibility of social distancing in the cab.
There’s also hope for those made redundant after furlough. It looks as if we will have a boom not a depression after the pandemic and as firms recover, they will be looking for staff across the board.
NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
We are told that the pandemic has made us more attached to our local neighbourhoods. We have gained a greater appreciation of where we live. Does this apply to the parliamentary constituency in which we reside?
If so, you only have until Monday to give your opinion on a big shake up in the parliamentary map of the North West that will be in place if the General Election is held from the summer of 2023 onwards.
Here are some examples of the changes in the North West. The South Lakeland constituency of Lib Dem Tim Farron is abolished as part of it links up with Morecambe.
In Lancashire Defence Secretary Ben Wallace’s seat of Wyre and Preston North is split three ways, whilst Labour’s Cat Smith’s majority disappears in the boundary changes. Burnley is linked with Bacup and there is a new Pennine Moors division.
On Merseyside the Walton seat made famous by Eric Heffer and Peter Kilfoyle becomes Norris Green. The problem of Wirral having too many MPs is solved not by a previously mooted cross Mersey seat but by a complicated rearrangement of seats to its south involving alterations to Wirral South and splitting Chester.
In Greater Manchester Labour would gain Bury South and Bolton North East from the Tories whilst Manchester Gorton once the stronghold of Gerald Kaufman becomes Longsight.
