A funeral, wake at the house, mass, meal in a pub afterwards, and a further gathering back at the house afterwards with large numbers throughout. A number of people have gotten covid from it, one person has died (possibly the son of the original deceased man) and another is in ICU.

This is all information supplied by TFK. It may or may not be true.

It was a lady who died for original funeral and her brother who has died since. Big agri contractors apparently

More or less the story. Woman died, she was 95. She had been ill in the weeks previous and her death wasn’t unexpected. In the preceding weeks, lots of people were visiting the family home. When she passed, there was a large funeral. The family set up a marquee at the house. There was an after funeral meal at the local pub which went on late. A huge amount of the family subsequently tested positive. Her son ended up in ICU in Wexford and he passed away today. He was overweight and had diabetes. Those two things on their own shouldn’t be enough to end up dying, but obviously left him vulnerable from Covid. Another son is in hospital in Waterford. Last I heard was he would be OK.

The cases from the funeral are huge. Doctor in neighboring village has over 50 of his patients confirmed. Whole place is shut down here now in all surrounding areas.

Have many posters working from home had their pay cut accordingly? A few friends in the private sector have been hit for a fair amount. Public sector workers from home on full pay is a bad joke

What do you mean by “cut accordingly”?

[myboyblue]

Who’s he

[maroonandwhite]

Cut according to the fact they are not in the office?

[TreatyStones]

@maroonandwhite

Cut according to the fact they are not in the office

Why would your pay be cut for not being in the office?

It should be increased to cover the fact you are using your own power, heat, broadband etc to enable you to do your job.

[maroonandwhite]

Depends on the work you do you might not be able do the same amount or to the extent from home. I thought this was fairly common.

[Biff_Egan]

I do more work at home because I’m not playing football chairman in the jacks

On what basis… That seems unfair. Your salary isn’t based on length of your commute

I’d imagine any of the professional services / IT types on here are doing as much if not more work from home.

Far more I’d say

Edit (on average to allow for @Bandage)

[maroonandwhite]

Perceived productivity I suppose. The fact they aren’t attending meetings in person. A solicitor friend of mine cut 40%, got 20% of it back going in every second day.

[myboyblue]

I’m quite happy I didn’t know that
