Getting furloughed with set return date = Sabbatical?

Apr 18, 2020 7 Comments

With the extra $600 for unemployment benefit currently, weekly gross pay out is $1,050 for unemployeed. It’s not a lot, but enough to hold out for a month or two.
I had conversation about this with my coworker and he thinks some people might welcome it if they had guarantee to come back shortly.
Its like going on a sabatical, and firms pay only 30% of base pay while on leave. So to him, its not as bad as it seems. It is a silly question, but how many people might actually not see that as a bad thing, if they had guarantee that they will be back to work?

I know most furlough has no guarantee of return, so this is just an if question.
