Really nice of you to even consider the new starter when sadly a lot wouldn’t xI hired someone a few weeks ago to start work in three weeks (not my company - I just hired her as in I’ll be managing her but ultimately not my decision on what we do now). Anyway I was told today to postpone her start date indefinitely. I feel awful about it because she’s currently working her notice and then when that finishes she won’t have a job until we’re ready for her to start. Which could be a while. Anyway since the announcement earlier I was going to ask my employer if it’s possible to let her start as planned, knowing that if after a few weeks they can’t afford it they could use the government scheme to pay her. I don’t know what they’ll say but I hope it’ll be considered at least.
