Interested in what y'all are doing work-wise right now. :) Aware there are lots of different situations people might be in so, if this poll doesn't cover yours, feel free to throw it below.

    I work in retail and some of our team have been asked to come back, me being one of those. We have limited capacity at work so only a few people can return as of now

    I’ve been furloughed from my SEN work but have had to carry on going to my care home work :)
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    Thanks everyone! So interesting to see where you're all at right now, and that most of you are working in-person jobs with varying hours and commitments. Congrats on the 2:1 @Past User! And sucks to hear you're out of work @independent_ - that's gotta be tough right now.

    For those of you working in-person jobs: do you think that's had an impact on how comfortable you are being outside/socialising? If you were working earlier in the outbreak when the number of UK cases was higher, how was that experience for you personally?

    I was talking to a family member who works in retail, and they were saying they feel pretty okay with things now because they've had a long time to get comfortable with it. But they also had quite a rough time with anxiety and all the other struggles of being a keyworker quite early on.

    @Mike Going to work in-person does make me a little anxious. My colleagues and customers don't seem to understand social distancing from others - like they seem to distance from other customers but not from staff? Just because we work there doesn't me we are immune :joy: 

    I don't think a lot of people I work with care, they constantly take their masks off when on the shop floor and I'm the only one who bothers to refill the sanitation points. I'd say it's more frustrating than anything
