If you’d rather be furloughed and make 0 than downgrade and make something then just quit and let someone else support their family!

Yes, you can do that. Anyone who wishes to take a furlough instead of downgrading can ask for a voluntary furlough within 5 days of formal announcement of a furlough.

but you wont get unemployment since you voluntarily left work, not forced to be furloughed.
food for thought.

1/2 salary plus 2 kids in daycare vs unemployment and having them home the costs are comparable and I’d be able to be with my kids, if I quit I wouldn’t get unemployment.

Was that not a formal announcement of furlough? Or would I wait for them to tell me that I am downgraded personally?

No, actually I wouldn’t. But its a mute point as it looks like I would be able to be furloughed by choice anyway.

The company has said that they won't deny unemployment claims for voluntary furloughs.
