Live Better With is company that recommends products, writes articles, and has an online community for people with cancer, menopause, dementia and other conditions.

According to internal documents which have been shared with me: 

  • Despite a goal pandemic, the company has decided now is a good time to implement a restructure
  • Staff are being fired, and won't be paid after their notice period
  • Non-compete clauses still apply in their contracts, adding barriers to finding new jobs
  • Some employees are being offered furlough (with 80% paid by the gov), but it doesn't apply to everyone

  • On 25 March a letter from the NHS confirmed that NHS funding for dental practises will be secured, if staff "continue to be paid at previous levels".
  • Despite this, on 27 March Synergy confirmed they were laying off staff, asking others to take 'as many holidays as possible'.
  • A later letter from the NHS on 15 April reiterated that Gov furlough scheme and other gov financial support was available to practices, but decisions by Syngery around staff redundancies had not been reversed, leaving staff unemployed.
  • The company has set up an employee support fund, though all money given out must be paid back.
  • The company reportedly bought 2 litres of hand sanitiser for £240.

I received a quantity of internal documentation cover this, thank you.
