Driving me nuts-- what did they call it during the recession in the 70s when you weren't quite laid off but reduced to l - Black Landlord - 12-08-2008
I have asked a zillion older folks but nobody can remember.
It was some cutesy-annoying term coined by the media like "brown-out" or "stagflation".
Mr/f to the rescue?

"Work-hour cutbacks."

No. It was like "brown-off" or something along those lines.

Maybe you had a cutesy expression in the USA but over here it was and still is called short-time working. I remember the times
(am I old?) and only recall that term.

No. No. No. No. No. Thanks for playing.
The sound of collective head slapping when someone gets it is going to measure on the richter scale.
