My furlough got extended to the 27th. My store was to reopen on the 13th. Makes me wonder if they reopening at all?

Have there any full timers been called back to work? How about department managers are you getting phone calls from your stores? In the store I work for, somehow there is only room for part timers. Is this right?

Just gonna leave that here
