do you think that this next group that gets hired will be furloughed like the last group....seems like conditions are going to be ripe for that in a year or so.....a friend from the mngmt side that was cut back in 09 told me that the corp. culture is fanatical when it comes to playing the market...She said that her dept. would play scenarios with wall streeters and employees were cannon fodder in that game....prob. timing is everything
