    This is a thread for members to stick up gestures or acts of malevolence from individuals or companies through this time period along with a link or details of what they’ve done.

    By the time we’re out the other end of this mess we’ll all know who the real arseholes are and can steer clear from buying from them or using their services giving them the chunk of bad karma back that they deserve.

    I’ll kick off firstly with the owners of the Coylumbridge Hotel in Aviemore who lettered staff sacking them immediately and evicting them from their digs;

    Every bar steward company online that I have to deal with who have just upped their prices by 20+% and doubled postage costs because their sales are down .... aye good... make it hard for folk trying to keep businesses ticking over and showing loyalty at a tricky time...

    Well.., get fkked... I’ll still be here in August. Hopefully some of the grabbing vultures won’t.

    Absolute cretin. * would giving his 8k odd staff £500 a week for the 8 weeks they were told to take a unpaid leave do to his net worth. Would hardly * scratch the surface.

    Got the cheek to ask the tax payers to bail him out aswell. Folk who pay bills and tax and have very little income spare after that should not be helping these billionaires out.

    My work. Won’t be shutting in any way, shape or form during this *. More worried about losing money than looking after their employees.

    Molly Malones Bar - Temple Bar - Dublin

    Remained the only pub open in the whole of Temple Bar on the eve of the official pub shut down. Bouncer on the door quoted saying "have you nothing better to do than go around videoing people enjoying themselves"

    Bar was wedged, which ultimately will cost a person, or most likely people, their lives. Subsequently deleted their FB page due to bad reviews.

    Cineworld. Laying off older staff and keeping staff who have worked less than 18 months as they don't need to pay them sick pay.

    I get that the economy needs to continue in some capacity but I highly doubt a small scaffolding firm is gonnae make a difference either way towards it.

    Everycunt needs bread but, your * mate :67:

    I don't totally understand how this social distancing stuff can work in the office environment, or why mixing with people in the work place is any less dangerous than socially. It's not really, but obviously it's basically company first and health second for most businesses.

    I'm taken time off sick, as I did have some symptoms, but I'm also in a position where if I lost my job i should be able to survive until I got a new one. I know a lot of people aren't always able to, so have to risk their health in order to avoid the chance of a sacking. * situation.

    How are these foreign workers supposed to get home. How much would it have took for the company to put their flexible, hard working, underpaid workers up free of charge for a couple of months?
