@abh12345 careful with being furloughed at work. From my understanding, from someone I know, who is knowledgeable of the process(UK). It makes it far easier for the company to not re-hire you at the end of the furlough period. You also give up a certain amount of rights that you would otherwise have. A lot of businesses will not rehire the same amount of staff as prior to the pandemic. The person I know very well has told me, this process of reducing their work force when the economy restarts is in planning phase... starting with those who are furloughed.
