Could be recalled, could extend the furlough, could fire people on August 1.

And tm602 is correct. I finished my recurrent class, got called in, and immediate furlough. No warning.

Old posts are still relevant. Starting pay is (was?) 80-90k, depending on location. Schedule and QOL depend on the center and program.
