Oh, what kind of insight? Is it the over the top "please don't sue" approach, the underwhelming "you can't sue us for this, our lawyers said so" approach, or the "we totally really care about you, here are some people we pay the listen to your problems so we don't have to" approach?
I had been looking to move as I was getting tired with the "politics" at my old employment. I did have 'skirting around subject' exchanges with @humfrz on this forum.

The opportunity arose with my new employer, I thought I'd give it a go. Same industry, less travelling, more UK based.

As for their approach dealing with the crisis, it's a very caring, sharing, we are in this together. News bulletins almost every day, top management taken a 20%reduction in their salaries. They're a Fortune 500 company and very staff focused, they want to keep the staff but I feel that they may consider furloughing staff..

Getting good staff once they're gone is a very expensive exercise that I'm sure they won't want to play out.
