As I've said previously, I know that many of the concierges are part time. In some companies, the policy generally is that part time and newer employees are furloughed or laid off first, among employees with the same/similar job titles/functions.
I believe the concierge agents are considered part of the call center. The agents working from home are not required to live near a call center. They can live in many states (not all states) and work 100% remotely. I'm not sure how the people who were furloughed and ultimately permanently laid off were chosen, whether it was by job title or seniority, or both.
