The company is already addressing that issue. We have COLA offers, reduction lines, and we’ll see lower line values until this passes. Our contractual penalties and high attrition make a furlough prohibitively expensive unless the company is absolutely sure that the public reaction to the virus is going to be extreme and long term. Because of this, anything short of an outlook that this will last for several years, shrinking with attrition and possible small displacement bids is a worst case scenario. It’s far less expensive to put some things on hold for now and carry the expense of surplus employees, than to trigger massive training cycles from top end displacements, and the expense of contractual penalties that are triggered if they were to furlough. For now we just keep chugging along since the company needs us in place when the public reaction to this ends. People need to chill. We’re getting beat up pretty bad right now, but we will survive, recover, then get back to the expansion plans that we had.
