Who have I missed? either categories or folk in these categories?
I've just had an (unsolicited) email from HR containing a letter identifying me as a key worker.
I guess cybersecurity migh fit into your 'essential services' category?
depends who your employer is surely? If it's MI6 or the NHS then, yes. Sounds though like a lot of companies are just self-certifying their employees as "keyworkers" (whatever that even means? Don't think I've seen it on any official gov.uk publications? Just seems to have been something made up by the papers which social-media morons have latched onto 😂)I guess cybersecurity migh fit into your ‘essential services’ category?
I've saw a petition for keyworkers to get a 30% payrise during the pandemic. I wonder how many workers would be key after that.
Look after Vodafone and O2 infrastructure
Electrics and Air conditioning systems predominantly. So we're out still doing basic maintenance, in our minds we should only be attending critical/service affecting job's.
Not a happy bunny
Oi TJ! You’ve missed us Gardners off the list, how dare you!
(I still can’t believe it, sorry all)

Cheese-makers.
Well obviously it's not meant to be taken literally, it refers
to any manufacturers of dairy products
Desktop IT Support in a large Gov Dept, but outside contractor, not civil servant.
No office support at the moment though as most closed and staff now WFH.
It's surprising how much support you can do from home.
Occasionally dropping off replacement kit at peoples homes - knock & run 🙂
Designated Key Workers by the Gov Dept - as we support the staff, who are Key Workers.
Have official letter - but certainly don't feel that key and no comparison to what NHS staff are going through. I salute you all.
Me NHS manager, Mrs FD surgeon.
Never been busier
Well actually not entirely this week. I’m on leave ( I did loads of hours the last couple of weeks l, and they said they would rather have me fresh for when the sh!t gets bad)
Mrs FD winding down her routine work, and now on call 24hrs a day this week, but actually her hospital is very quiet at the min.
I install medical equipment, ups and ips systems, and construction work for critical infrastructure. Some projects on hold, but I've currently got 4 weeks flat out on one site then installations nationwide.
Digs are currently airbnb, but likely to end up as the back of the van the way it's going!
Work in insurance inspection as a surveyor (basically as an MOT inspection for pressurised vessels though we also do lift & crane and electrical inspections). Work has gone a bit mental in the way that I don’t know if i’m coming or going, with constantly changing requirements from clients and company. Any industry you can think of we would have a reason to visit (though at the moment I’ve gone from 3-5 sites a day to 3 sites a week).
I'm an Engineer maintaining & repairing a wide variety of machinery used in the Aqua culture industry (Food production). biggest change in my work is the roads are deserted , makes me smile. No chinese tourists , no any tourists 😀 & also cleaner hands.
