My boss called the italian bloke i work with and told him tp take next week off. This bloke has not much annual leave unlike myself, but my boss means well as next week is a 4 day week so guys with out much leave get paid the public holidays as opposed to using 2 days of entitlements. Now what concerns the italian bloke is he is sponsered by the company to stay in the country. If he loses his position, he has to leave the country. And nows not a good time to travel, especially to italy. So i understand to a degree his concerns. The english bloke i was also working with isnt as concerned. He can apply for residency in 2 months, and his mrs is still working and is sponsered by her work so he can work out a work around worst case scenario apparently. I cant see much good for our offshore crew, thats what our projects team call themselves as only 1 bloke is australian. And project work is getting postponed left right and centre.
