Anyone Not Suffering During this?

Big corporations? Come on, some people MUST be making a whole bunch of ££££ and $$$$. I wonder who that could be. Think, think, think.

    Lots of people and companies are unaffected by this from a financial point of view.     However, that doesn't matter.
    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.

    Lots of industries are 'business as usual' - my company is neither doing better nor worse than expected and has been so since lockdown began. Just doing the same as "normal" is something to be celebrated right now, so I am very grateful.

    Amazon are probably doing quite well out of it
  • I work in a large food manufacturer and they are doing very well, up 25% compared to where they expected to be.

    I went to work for Amazon during lockdown. Believe me there was unlimited overtime and they are constantly recruiting. I was only there for 12 weeks but had a positive experience and would go back to work there again.

    Healthcare. OK it was tough on some wards but in the main it was OK and there was unlimited overtime and huge spending on upgrading facilities for online working and a possible second wave.

    You are using healthcare staff as an example of people who haven't suffered during this?
