Good!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I think it will be good for people to discuss this and vent anonomously.
ReplyDeleteRe: earlier comment about furlough vs. salary cut and whether they are equivalent.
ReplyDeleteSeems to me that a salary cut affects not just your income this year, but from here on out. A furlough would be (we hope) a one-time deal affecting only this year's income.
Any information come out of the pizza meeting today?
ReplyDeleteSounds like we're going to be doing more and covering more with a whole lot less.
