There are red arrow days because the damn company is too friggin stupid to realize it might not be
too damn bad to have more people that is needed for the bare minimum.
Every month I remain on furlough is one more day I lose any confidence in ASA being around in < 5 years. (Sarcasm - but seriously. . .it's JANUARY! and the company still can't figure it out)
The company, and our departing MEC, have managed to fill all of our brains with the PBS kool-aid, which will drastically make those "Red" arrow days disappear as the company finds more and more ways to screw all of us out of money, time off, and any current semblance of work/life balance.
