My GF just got furloughed for up to 90 days. She gets to keep her benefits and all of her work from home equipment doesn't have to be returned at this time. Anyone know if it is a frequent thing that furloughed workers never get brought back to their old positions? She works corporate for a major hotel company.
I got laid off today after receiving an email yesterday about an important conference call. Not being able to log into the work computer this morning gave it away. Good to know all the sacrifices I made at at company for 14 years, paying for my own college and putting off a promotion to help out the team out are for nothing. Never trust anything a company tells you.

That sucks. Good Luck with the call.
Thanks and yup, pretty crap move on their part. It's also like they ghosted me and everyone else let go. No further information in the packet they mailed me, just a transcript of the conference call. No response on emails either, although I'm not sure who all is left. Hopefully I'll find a job elsewhere before they try to call me back.
Good for you! To be honest, not a bad idea to focus on education. By the time you get your degree (1 year? 2?) I'm hopeful the economy will be back to where we were pre-COVID.They let me go Tuesday. Wasted 7 years of my life for this dogshit company. I feel free. Like a new man. Cashing out my 401k and finishing my degree while all of this is going on so I can re-enter the job market stronger than before. The waiting is the worst part. I've just been kinda futzing around the house, playing video games, baking a little. Not sure what to do with my free time considering classes don't start until May.
