Anyone on a seniority roster underneath you. When the "canary" (the employee) "drops" (gets laid off) you know it's time to make alternative arrangements.

When airline management has thrown away Billions in cash on failed stock buyback schemes, a threatened pilot furlough is used to try and extract pilot concessions, so management has more money in the future for more risky stock buybacks that only benefit them.
Example #1: "Well, we pissed away all that money the employees made on stock buybacks, so we will threaten a massive pilot furlough and ram some pay and work rule cuts down their throats. Are we still on for our tee time later today?"
Example #2: "If the pilot furlough doesn't give us enough money to do more stock buybacks, we will just displace everyone to the lowest paying positions and try to force more wage and work rule concessions on them. Make sure there are plenty of hookers and blow for the airline manager party tonight. Shit is about to get real when we announce those pilot furloughs."

A condition, mainly affecting people placed upon furlough; the primary symptom of which (induced by the Return To Work phase) is an incredibly tiresome zeal and lack of cynicism. Also can induce extreme cases of Cover My Arseosis.
“Alan’s been running round the office shouting that if we don’t keep our supply of paperclips topped up, the whole fucking world’s gonna end, and he’ll be liable”
“Eugh, Furloughitis muthafuckaaaaaa”

Similar to the effects of Stockholm Syndrome
This describes people who have been put on furlough that now face the grim prospect of returning to work after months of government funded drinking but would rather not.
Now people are becoming accustomed to their new way of life of being paid to be philosophical and wake up in the mid afternoon their dreams are shattered at there boss phones to say we’re open again and you’ll have to earn your money. This call would have been welcomed in the before times instead of redundancy , but now you’ve had the greener grass, you’d rather stay home with your family and maybe have a go on the washing up.
For the last few weeks the most taxing thing that’s happened is an awkward handover from a food delivery driver, almost like they were handing over a primed dirty bomb, once the box is inside and had a quick going over with some antibac your laughing.
Sadly this greener grass is wilting though and the treasury is out of cash to keep it going. You need to cut your own hair to look reasonable and order some overpriced masks to protect yourself and head out on an expedition to the office (insert soiling sound)
Stay safe

Worker 1: Garry not coming back to work then?
Worker 2: No, he got Furlough Syndrome and couldn’t face coming back. He’s on universal credit until he feels “less stressed..... and sober”

Refers to a chick's boob that you're temporarily "liberated" from her upper-body garment (i.e., you reached into the lady's collar-opening and hauled out one of her "girls") so that you could play with it bare and suck on her nipple for a moment before "putting it back into its jail cell".
Lots of buxom gals are more than willing to let you perform a "girl on furlough" maneuver; out of consideration and respect for said "willing" damsel, though, be sure to (1) be very careful and gentle with her chest-pillows, and (2) always take the time and effort to properly "tuck The Girls back inside" --- i.e., neatly re-arrange the girl's blouse, tank top, bra, etc. to return everything to how it had been before you started playing around with her chest, so that the boobs-sharing chick will feel secured and comfy again after you've had your fun.
