Well, given the "smoothness" of their furlough execution, I'm sure the recall will be even more entertaining.

No, but I think Fred cares more about the business end of making $$!

Is everyone getting ready for some news or what? This silence is deafening!

Looks like November may come early?

You do know the UPS definition of "furlough recall" don't you ?

Oh Crap ... the new pay period starts Sunday, how are we going to cover this open flying ? Oh yeah, lets recall those 25 we were going to furlough on Sunday.

This conversation will take place no sooner than the last Friday before the end of the current pay period.

If history repeats itself ...

Unofficial channels are saying that furloughs will be cancelled, and recalls will begin shortly. And no, I'm not on crack.
