| _________________________________ [May 15,2009 7:17pm - reimroc ""] Yea I called my boss and told him I wasn't coming in. Pretty easy eh? |
| ________________________________________ [May 15,2009 8:03pm - massoftwoslits ""] My brother was furloughed after 9/11 from American Airlines. |
| ______________________________________ [May 15,2009 8:27pm - the_reverend ""] it's only a week, but weird to be in hi-tech and have them do this. |

| _________________________________________ [May 16,2009 11:21am - josh_hates_you ""] yeah we just had 2 months of 4 day (32 hr) work weeks. finally back to 5 days plus ot. thanks to verizon for ordering so much shit. |
| _______________________________________ [May 16,2009 11:37am - the_reverend ""] I was afraid they were going to do that too. there was talk of 72hr work weeks. but the layoffs and this show fix us. |
| _______________________________________ [May 18,2009 10:22am - the_reverend ""] huh, I just got told that it would probably make more sense to do this the week of july. I might just do that. |
| ____________________________________ [May 18,2009 10:30am - dreadkill ""] it's furlough |
| ____________________________________ [May 18,2009 10:41am - dreadkill ""] i had a furlough last quarter and have to take another one this quarter. it sucks to lose a week's pay, but at least it's better than getting laid off. |
| ____________________________________ [May 18,2009 10:42am - dreadkill ""] i'm not going to complain about furloughs when i know so many people who are jobless now. |
| _______________________________________ [May 18,2009 12:00pm - the_reverend ""] mass corrected me already. I'm going to do this in july so much better weather. |
| _______________________________________ [May 18,2009 12:00pm - the_reverend ""] did/do you collect unemployment while off? If I can, I will |
| __________________________________________ [May 18,2009 1:59pm - largefreakatzero ""] We had 2 weeks out in April companywide. |
| __________________________________________ [May 18,2009 1:59pm - largefreakatzero ""] If you are out for a full pay period, you should be able to collect. |
| ______________________________________ [May 18,2009 2:30pm - the_reverend ""] I'm only out for 4 days. |
