please, don't drink their kool-aid.

it's fired, not furloughed.

it's to be able to not lose ability to generate profit, not "to be able to serve our customers"

it's to save 85% who we think are more worth, not "we are all in this together"

I'm confused. You think they're lying when they say the employees were furloughed? They might be lying but I don't see any reason to belive that. Having been furloughed during government shutdowns myself I understand the situation a bit.

Not losing the ability to generate profit is a key requirement to be able to serve their customers. They are not a charity but a for-profit company.
