No contact from employer

Hi,
I have been on furlough since march and have had no contact with my employer, i have tried txt, email and calling and get no response. I am getting so anxious about it 😫  
Anyone else in the same boat?

  • I assume that this is a fairly small employer - are there others working for them, and if so, are they also currently on furlough? Presumably you're still being paid the minimum 80%?
  • Is the office/shop open? Try going in and see who is there.
  • Its a massive company and i work in one of the DC's. A lot of the stores have opened and i have been in one to ask a manager if they know who is contactable at head office and she couldn't help.
    So frustrating.

    I don't recognise the abbreviation "DC", sorry - but as it's a large employer, can you contact a colleague (i.e., a peer, not a manager) to ask what they're seeing?

    Can you call the main switchboard and ask to be connected to HR, rather than asking for a specific individual? As a last resort, just go to your usual place of work and ask there? 
  • DC - Distribution Centre? Happy to be wrong on the abbreviation  though

    I thought "direct concession"??
    Maybe the OP will say.

    My first thought was distribution centre, although you must feel frustrated with no contact furlough will be winding up so I would expect you will hear something soon regarding what will happen.
