Just in time for the weekend, some news guaranteed to raise a big crocodile tear in the ducts of furloughed or laid off workers wondering if they can afford the gas for a trip  to the Zoo this summer:

Wait, I’ve got that turned around.

Of the 1,400 chief financial officers surveyed by Robert Half Management Resources survey, an astounding 31 percent say they will either forego or shorten their vacation days this summer.

“Many CFOs understandably feel they must remain diligent helping steer their firms through the downturn and, just as important, prepare the business for an ultimate recovery,” Paul McDonald, the executive director of Robert Half Management Services said in a release accompanying the survey.

Woe be the Hamptons.
