The fact that they referenced the furloughes at that time when they already knew what the summer had in store felt like a slap to the face. I realize they didn't know what the summer would look like in Feb., but if they're not saving money from the furlough they should own up to it. I guess we'll have to wait for the 2nd quarter earnings call, but I'm not gonna keep my fingers crossed that they'll own up to it then. Probably just say that the furloughs saved them money again.
Because we were furloughed 1/2 way through the 1st quarter. I felt that the comment they made about us was to tell the investors to wait and see the 2nd quarter reports for proof that furloughing us was a good cost cutting measure.
