Almost 33 years with my company and furloughed

Look at the up side, at least yours is temporary. A good friend of mine was with one of the major computer companies for 35 years. They were told to go home about a week ago, his boss called him aside & told him that he was probably not going to be called back due to how close he was to retirement. I guess that's just an excuse to lessen the payroll bottom line. He is trying to file for unemployment but the phone lines & on line systems are overloaded. He & two of his neighbors have gotten together & are helping out their older neighbors with outside projects. So far, he has kept an upbeat attitude & I hope it continues for him.
