I had an email the other day saying I was to be sent a document that included a 'take it or leave it' situation. Either I sign to agree to a 20% reduced hours with 20% pay cut, or my contract with the company is terminated. I'm already on furlough at 80% pay, so this means even less money.

I understand why I'm going to be paid less, but personally I'd have rather my gym just waive all monthly rent payments we have to make in order to operate as self-employed there. I expect there's a lot of of reasons why it's not possible, but I still wish the circumstances were different.

Naturally I've had to sign the document because I worked so hard to get to where I am now, but knowing I'm going to be getting even less money is hard.

The reduced hours are supposed to start either this week or the next, and we'll be required to work from home doing training. I'm not really sure what they expect us to do working from home, though I'm going to assume it's training in terms of preparing us for returning to the gym.

I just hope this lockdown eases soon.
