Sucks for everyone involved. Luckily we have all had over 6 months to get our households in order. Asking the middle 3rd to live off of $140k on min guarantee is easier than asking the bottom 3rd to live off $0. In this current situation we find ourselves in, its hard to find a win. Id argue that the ability to bounce back before the other 2 guys provides much more job security and growth in the coming years. Unfortunately as much as we preach unionism and solidarity, you really get to see who is all about "me" in situations like this. I'm ok with working fewer days (for fewer dollars respectively) if it means that someone junior who's family depends on them can keep their job.
