    The situation is really bad, except now that the business in the mask industry is good, other industries are not good

    In The UK we are lucky our employees can go on "furlough" our government will pay 80% of our wages.

    We are just now cut to a 3 day work week, but only a 25% pay reduction. Not earning anything for on-call standby now either, though still get paid if called out. No merit increase this year at all. Better than unemployment but still a significant hit. Thankfully we no longer have a mortgage to pay or we would be in emergency mode. This is slated to run our first quarter to the end of June, evaluated on an ongoing basis.

    The missus may not get any summer contracts at all, so that is another bridge to cross.

    Large numbers of redundancies at Ricoh in OZ. After 42 years on Ricoh gear am now unemployed. Don't know how they are going to handle the work after shutdowns as they cant keep up with the work now.

    This is bad news, I feel sorry for you. Someone with that much experience in the field shouldn't be seeking for work.
    A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

    Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

    sorry to hear that but keep the faith...
    if a company does not appreciate your knowledge someone else will..
    OR go out on your own...........
    dont lose the faith as hard times are where the cream rises to the top.
