Thanks for the link. What he said is a little bit ambiguous but your interpretation is a valid one and it would mean that their plans changed between Thursday and Friday. Some other possible interpretations: 1) It might be that all the people from the company are part of the "negotiations" (YT) of temporary lay-offs but in the first phase they might suspend the payments of wages for ~50%, and if the situation is later getting worse then more people without new negotations. Or 2) All the people from the company are part of temporary lay-offs but it is time limited and rotating, like everyone is temporarily laid off for two weeks but 50% for these calender weeks and the rest for other non-overlapping weeks.
