I realise that the £2,500 is the maximum figure but still the fact remains that these people are (entirely justifiably) receiving this help, whilst currently having zero commuting costs and a bit of gardening leave....whilst I'm still out there working with all the associated additional costs (including boil washing my uniform every other day) and putting myself at a much higher risk of exposure to catching the virus.
I'm not saying these people shouldn't receive this help and compensation, just that it would be nice for those of us still working to also receive some form of recognition and reward for our efforts.
I understand somewhat. But at least Royal Mail are still ticking over and won't be suffering like a lot of other industries will be. A lot of people have lost their jobs, millions in fact and they won't be getting that payout.
