If you think that a vaccine or real recovery (>70% 2019 numbers) is years away, then vote no and let’s get busy furloughing over 1/3 of the list, have more displacements, and pray that we avoid bankruptcy. If you think that a vaccine will be available and travel restrictions lifted within the next year and that our numbers will be trending up, then vote yes. If the yes voters are wrong, and the numbers next summer are showing that recovery is years away, the company will announce massive furloughs, voiding the LOA, and we will be right we’re we would have been if this thing fails. If the no voters are wrong, we will have thousands on the street by then and our ability to react will be throttled by our ability to recall and train. If a vaccine isn’t found and this goes on for a couple of years, it’s all over anyway.
Bag takes that say ”Don’t blame me“. Oh that’s priceless. What would you like the no voters tag to say? Remember, the company furloughs, not your co-workers.
