Ah the hell with it. Everyone should be preparing for furloughs. This whole, "have you heard x company is furloughing?" crap is getting annoying. Things are so variable that to even predict what will happen next month is impossible. On the same token, things can improve for anyone, as well.

We should have a thread for people who have actually received a letter.

Either way, here is the obligatory, "good luck," to anyone who may get such furlough notice. Regardless of whatever position/company/job we're in, we're all in as much **** as the others. I'll believe something when I see it happening and, again, good luck to everyone.
