Getting furloughed. The ‘agency’ can’t tell me when it will end, and I don’t want to go back if they were to actually bring me back. Should I just ask to be let go? They had layoffs last week, this week it’s furloughs, and from what I can gather I’m getting just a months worth of benefits while the people getting laid off got a months worth of salary…am I just getting screwed out of severance?

When getting furloughed you usually maintain your health benefits as they were AND you can collect unemployment. (At least this is the case in MA.) And during that time you can actively look for a new role.

I'd rather be furloughed than straight up laid off — both of which I've experienced. At least there's some chance of being re-employed while searching for a new role instead of being 100% out of work.

Currently awaiting an offer for a new sales role. Salary somewhere between 100-120, OTE 160-200 depending on base. I intend to ask about annual merit increases and what they have been previously, but was wondering if anyone had ever negotiated an annual increase based on inflation in addition to any performance based merit increases. Seems like a smart way to protect myself while times are so volatile and not get stuck with the typical 3% when inflation is 8+. Thoughts?
