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? Re: Driving me nuts-- what did they call it during the recession in the 70s when you weren't quite laid off but reduced - Doc - 12-08-2008 "Work-hour cutbacks." Re: Driving me nuts-- what did they call it during the recession in the 70s when you weren't quite laid off but reduced - Black Landlord - 12-08-2008 No. It was like "brown-off" or something along those lines.

I remember the times (am I old?) and only recall that term.
