COVID 19 Lay-Off thread Australia

Boy Division

Hi Archinect

I know there's already been a thread about this , but I thought it'd be a good idea for people outside the US to share their circumstance.

Yep , I'm one of those unlucky ones, I'll start

Location : Melbourne, Australia

Firm : 100 staff, Education, Health , Public realm

Lay-off : 20 (so-far), pay cut and other measures are put in place for the remaining staff.

Please keep the thread going, so we all know how bad things are over here.

Over and out.

We have water in our toilets, silly, it’s just frozen 90% of the time.

This is not entirely a myth. The water really does spin clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, but only in ideal laboratory conditions and not near the equator.

Hi divoc

We are an international group of architectural workers (architecture-lobby.org) with a chapter in your area. 

We have a solidarity network for workers offering/needing support during COVID: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe3nDLM4MfyUyjXPSdOKOEtyFlJ6lgh_ZYu65f9_23sVgp4FA/viewform

And an anonymous, public spreadsheet where workers can enter information about their firms, to keep them transparent and accountable: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScPosQ9FaFb20Djxmkk0I2kcPk2JyIUscz9Se8h-dmrZ-0udA/viewform
