Summary

This ‘pingdemic’ is ruining our country. Rob can’t just sit still and stay quiet, he needs a rant and to tell you WHY the current Covid strategy is killing businesses.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  No one knows what they are doing, people are confused and scared. It is not working. Half of Rob’s staff are getting pinged but none of them are testing positive. How can a company get back to normal if half their staff are off. Rob understands the impact of Covid and if people have it of course they need to isolate. But he feels like there is no clear strategy going forward and the current state of things is confusing and is crippling businesses all over the country. Rob isn’t sure what we can do to change things but perhaps if enough business owners speak up then the government will start to support both employers and employees.   BEST MOMENTS  “People are confused and scared” “You’re damned if you do, you’re damned if you don’t” “Freedom day was a con”   [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

doesn't work. I know it doesn't work. A fucking no, it doesn't work. I have in two of my companies

0:49.5

in one office building, 80 plus staff and it doesn't work. It's not working. People are half of my

0:59.9

staff are getting pinned and most of them, none of them have got COVID. They have tests, they're fine.

They come back for a day, then they get pinned again. Then they have another test, then they come

freedom day two or three weeks ago, except it's getting worse and worse and worse. So you can't run

2:02.8

the business. You can't, we pay all of our stuff. We pay the law. We hardly laid anyone off and

2:09.2

I supported the government when they brought in all these furloughs. But they should be paying sick

2:14.4

pay. They should be paying the sick pay. They should be paying the staff for the company for loss of

2:22.6
