@garstonians @grizzly4paws This is the kind of ass-backwards logic that could only originate from a crusty, entitled boomer. Shoo, shoo boomer.

Working in @Waterstones today following the lockdown. No hand sanitiser provided, no wipes, no disinfectant, no reduced shop hours, cash still being accepted. We're being told by head office that gloves and masks are not permitted, meanwhile administrative staff...(cont.)

@garstonians @grizzly4paws So what happens when your manager disregards your concerns and denies you PPE even in light of the knowledge that you have a vulnerable person at home during a global pandemic?

@InterestingTi13 @JoshHalliday I kind of love how salty we've made him.

@JoshHalliday @kk_liber Wow - he never shuts the f*ck up, does he? I work in one of your stores, #jamesdaunt. It's ALL true.

@cxg174 @Waterstones Waterstones announced its closure late Sunday following massive public outcry. All staff are now home and safe. Thank you for your support in achieving this!

@MrRogerOnions @FionaShanks1 @HenryWellsbourn @Waterstones Actually the same day Waterstones announced their closure, it was only 4 hours before the closure announcement that they put out a different announcement, stating that we would be staying open as long as possible. In the end they only closed due to enormous public pressure.

@titianted @WaterstonesWB @NCT_Buses Closed now (after enormous public backlash), thank you!

Our special timetables started today, but hands up, there were some bits we didn't get right. We will be making some changes from Sunday 5th April: Earlier buses on the 1, 35, 79; the 48X for Clifton, key 53 am journeys and 35 going to/from Bulwell. nctx.co.uk/changes-our-sp…

@NotABotNotABot3 @Waterstones Cannot confirm anything as WS communication is still not clear. Will obviously be paid for hours already worked, but have seen one tweet about an employee being fired when they could have been furloughed (see @unfortunatalie 's tweet).

@PaulTubb1 @Waterstones Glad you're safe now Paul <3

@kk_liber @Waterstones No; but earlier on Monday we were told to come in to work as normal...

James Daunt responds. Yes, we are a threat to public health, but you can quarantine if you can afford it. Scant solace for my single mum co-worker. This is what he meant by 'natural depletion'. Naturally it's going down like cat sick on the company's intranet @samatlounge

People pay attention—this is the real face of Waterstones beneath the humble, wholesome façade. Exploitation, profits over people, spite, malice and pure, unadulterated greed. #Waterstones #coronavirus

We've got loads of free downloadable activity sheets and teaching resources on our website including for age ranges 3-5, 5-9 and 9-12. faber.co.uk/faber-children…

@bolerosoboles Poor baby won't be able to buy his 4th house this year :'(((

James Daunt’s taking it well. Abusing his staff now for talking ‘utter shit’ before threatening jobs, and then intimidating authors who ‘should know better’ than to speak out against Waterstones. inews.co.uk/news/consumer/…

@lellyjs @sallhype Sames :(

I'm really, really sorry to hear that Lauren. This is the true face of Waterstones beneath the false wholesome "oooh curl up with a booky-wooky under a blanky-wanky and a cuppa ;)" image they project.

@mydearthoughts3 I think Daunt wishes I wasn't an employee 😂

James Daunt keeps claiming the people who exposed the company’s treatment of their booksellers were “not employees” and “chatting shit”... boy, do I have news for you.

@samatlounge It's the scene of her climbing up the hill that breaks the dam for me every time 😢

@PaulTubb1 @Waterstones That's fucking appalling. Profits>people once again. Are they still open following the formal lockdown?

@kk_liber @Waterstones Cotswold Outdoor is exactly the same situation except reduced hours. Head Office staff all sent home; meanwhile shop staff still expected to do boot and backpack fittings. Company has not provided hand sanitizer etc; staff bought it in earlier in the month.Totally unacceptable

Please, for the sake of me and my family, I am begging you to boycott The Range. It’s a non-essential store. Please. I’m desperate. @kk_liber thank you for speaking out 💕

@M_Robespierre @Di4bl3ss @KateLangstaff78 @Waterstones Formal reason given in the internal memo to staff was that "there was no evidence that masks have any efficacy outside of a clinical setting". Apparently PPE loses its structural properties if you're wearing them anywhere other than a hospital ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

To help prevent spread of the Coronavirus, and to protect the wellbeing of our customers and staff, sadly Waterstones will temporarily close its doors by the close of trade Monday 23 March until further notice. Please check waterstones.com for additional information
