Well I’ve got it, but I’ve just got one of those mundane full time drivers jobs…, the type that you have gloated over in the past on here telling us what an advantage it is working for an agency, doing the same work for more money. 
4 pages of your whinging and whining could have been avoided with an answer in one sentence…ie.
‘‘99.9% of agencies are wonkers who think nothing of their drivers’’.
So that (combined with your obvious ‘Victim’’ issues) has been a bit of self realisation for you, and made you bitter, thus boring the [zb] arses off everyone on here, unfortunate to endure your ramblings…and presumably the few friends that you will have,.and all your ■■■■■■ off workmates you have mentioned.
Somebody call an ambulance or a [zb] hitman. 
(Harsh maybe, , but you evidently bring things on yourself. )
"Hey, let’s punch him in the face… he’ll moan and moan and moan, but he gets less rights than the rest of us. We can use him for our whipping boy forever and ever, because we ALL don’t like him. We don’t give a ■■■■ if his rights (that we won’t give him) are trodden on. " Are not the Left supposed to uphold worker’s rights being trodden upon? Are not the Right supposed to support workers who have that strong work ethic where they put the hours in, and expect some return on that level of committment? Are not the Centerists supposed to keep everything on an even keel so nobody has any serious grievances to moan about?
This just about sums it up. I posted to him along the same lines as your fulltime/agency comment above. As usual it went straight over his head!
You’re ignoring me when I tell you I was flat-out working full time via PAYE agency before I got cut off at the knees… Gov.UK covers ZHC on this arrangement, don’t forget. As long as such workers are PAYE… That’s why the furlough amount is calculated on actual hours already worked, rather than “Projected hours for the following year as per contract”…
We’re not talking about “agency rights” here, as other agency full timers have seen those rights met.
We’re talking about me apparently being singled out for brutally bad treatment where my income goes from £35k to zero without even being told verbally for ten bloody days that “my job has gone”…!
…based on them “not liking me” don’t forget. That’s discrimination. If I’d been sacked for a written reason, e.g. committing an actual crime tested in court - then I wouldn’t have a case…
…And the issue of the furlough grant being put in for anywhere at the firm based on the number of drivers on their books “no longer getting work hours”.
What a great syphon of government funds THAT is, when an agency has far more people on zero hours actual even during normal times… Based on the previous years earnings though, there’s nothing to stop them claiming 80% of £2500 per month for me still being on their books, whilst passing none of that ON to me. Surely that grant is claimed for a job-lot of staff on books, not “individuals”?
Fraud, Theft, and False Accounting?? The DWP will be carrying out an investigation - unless the firms can bring down the government before the government brings down them, I suggest.

“Working whilst furloughed” - the fraud is claiming the money when the firm doesn’t need to, or hasn’t even really stood people down, merely transferred them to a different location to work out of whilst telling the government “they are at home”… The fraud is claiming the money for someone you would normally have sacked, but couldn’t be arsed to do the extra paperwork. The Theft is someone like me being sent to the poor house based on lies and deceit. The Theft is robbing the taxpayer of funds that would be better left with the taxpayer. The False Accounting is counting drivers towards any application for a grant that have already GONE. The False Accounting is making it look like “no one got sacked or laid off” on PAPER - because that was one of the conditions to GET a furlough grant - Right?
Abuse of the Furlough Scheme is real then.
People are apparently unconcerned about “being crucified” - because any government department that might launch an investigation - are furloughed themselves, so won’t get around to any meaningful actions against these fraudster wealthy firms (who didn’t need to claim anything…)
There’s even the aspect of Client Firms doing this via their agencies as “Proxies” - meaning that when the sky falls down, the agency (hopefully, from their point of view…) ends up taking the rap for any “naughty paperwork” let’s say…
Oh, and the DWP will probably take an interest, because where did THIS lot come from at a time when “no one is supposed to be being laid off” hmm?
There is clearly an imbalance between firms claiming furlough grants compared to the number of actual jobs being lost, where a grant then CANNOT be claimed.
Where did all these “Newbie Jobless” people come from? Did ALL their previously employing firms go bust, rather than apply for the furlough grant designed to act as a safety net for them??
@ 30 drivers,plus the warehouse staff. all back at work full time this week …but i’m booked off on holiday
Did I really deserve that for being “unpopular” all by myself, or was I in fact “not alone” here, and a whole bunch of us got ritually ripped-off, whilst someone somewhere might have been tempted into taking advantage of “absent taxman” to push a few bits of “free money applications” at
