is furlough a new worrying corporate trend?
This idea seems so unheard of outisde of government where it is pretty normal (normal because congress always backpays which private employers dont do) .
It seems like every company now is normalizing furloughs because its the easy way out for them when previously this would never happen at a private company. Previously they had to make tough calls around either a lay off or keeping on payroll. But i feel with furloughs it just incentivizes employers to get rid of people whenever they feel like even more so than a layoff. additionally there is less legal risk to them of lawsuits because the job never went away .
mark my words even when the recession is over employers will try to furlough for 1 month when business hets soft. what do you guys think? is this a trend employees should be worried of?

The businesses that are not affected also slow down hiring or freeze it.
