By that rationale, furloughs are a “huge give” also. That same person will be doing 5-6 SC when 1941 hit the streets and the optimizer has its way with the rest of the group. The company is going to cut to the bone, high utilization for those sticking around. At least this LOA gives people choices, saves jobs and improves QOL for many.
Folks can’t have it both ways. The company is about done paying people 72-hours for min work. We can either help to manage it ourselves by volunteering to work less/more based on personal preference, or else the company will unilaterally manage it for us (people sticking around will be working a lot with little flexibility, furloughs will be working none)...
