I think you’re right that it’s better to avoid these issues in the first place, but your perspective on furloughs instead of layoffs seems a bit fatalistic. I think a company that did rolling furloughs (and importantly was transparent about the whole process) would probably maintain pretty good morale, especially if the rest of the industry is laying people off. But yeah singling people out for furlough would probably be a big morale hit
