But I guess I should have predicted that and applied to an LOA instead? With the same deadline for both which one would you have picked.
2020 hindsight not included of course but with internet tough guy syndrome everyone’s perfect and you would have made the perfect choice right?

Its kind of hard to empathize with someone who is saying they had a great job opportunity but didn't take it because the company wouldn't pay them 60% of their salary to go work somewhere else. I think if someone had a great job opportunity, they'd bid for the paid leave first, then the unpaid leave second. Did you call the new employer and say, "Thanks for the great job opportunity but I make more at my current job and I couldn't hold a line that would have subsidized my pay?" Especially if you're nervous of a furlough, I would imagine you'd get your foot in the door at the new job in case your current employer may furlough you in the next year.
