I've just got back from work to find an email inviting everyone on my site to attend "a briefing concerning important information about your site" at 3pm. It encourages anyone working from home to come in for this purpose.
Our site is half empty and, as you may be aware, in Norwich which is the middle of fucking nowhere.
Also there are sound tech type people fitting speakers and video cameras all over the shop in the manner of a Reaping from a district of Panem.
It may not surprise you to know that everyone around me, to coin a bewilderingly popular phrase, is losing their shit.

Burger chimp is about £6 an hour. The hours of the Asda McDonalds job were given as 16.00 to 01.30. And you had to work Sundays.

Worst case scenario is site closure and WFH/relocate or gardening leaveFrankly the latter sounds fucking brilliant right now, I was applying elsewhere anyway

Unless they want to see the tears close up

Best guess, live broadcast or recording it for the intranetSo they can prove they gave our questions a fair hearing or some shit
What's most amusing is that everyone is going spastic because we got like 2 hours' notice, and rumours have been circulating about this site since before I went off with headwrong. Everyone's like "they could have given us some fucking warning", well no, a week's warning leads to mass hysteria doesn't it.

It could just be a company announcement they want to record. Unlikely but it could be.
What time is the announcement?

3Realistically there are too many people still here who can't WFH to do mass redundancy. My money is on a smaller office, which might be shit because there's several places outside the city that would be a ballache to walk to
