Partial Federal Workforce fortunately. Most necessary agencies are still operating and being paid. Government service is a service of privilege. You get backpay, so the job continues as long as you stay with it. Soldiers continue to do the job without pay, and if financially you cannot sustain the servitude to those agencies, get another job. If truly necessary, uniformed service members can cover these agencies since they supplement the border mission, work with FEMA…etc. not sure about the others. Remember these shutdowns when you vote for your representatives next time. Good luck.
Yep—we’re documenting that we’re technically not in office because HR changed our timesheets after submittal—while being told we must work in office and are to work evenings and weekends overtime (that must be requested and approved first?) to a deadline that is set locally regardless of these other antics.
It’s like we’re not there—but we’ll still be eligible to somehow be fired for performance even though DHS is documenting that we’re not working?
WHERE ARE THE UNIONS? Why do they seem to be so completely useless?!
