In his defense, when I decided to give to the MOU, I thought that it was all or nothing. By cutting my pay by 50 percent I thought that I would always have a job. Now, I took the pay cut and will lose my savings and will still probably get furloughed. All or nothing? Not really. If it was and I was laid off, I would go live with family and have some savings. Now, I will still probably get laid off, but now with no savings.

So I do understand his pain.
