Sorry to hear about your furlough.
We took a 17.5% pay cut in 2003, cut 1/2 our holidays and another 10% of benefits were also cut. Lost 1 week of PREVIOUSLY EARNED Vacation.
Since then our benefits have TRIPPLED IN COST, so the few percent increase that we've had over the last 10 years have been negated by more benefits cost to employee and loss of even more benefits. They also took away our pension on top of it all.
