Federal workers receiving full pay during lockdown while at home not working

Almost all, if not all, Federal workers are receiving FULL pay and benefits while on lockdown at home while doing no work at all. It is a fact that IRS workers are receiving full pay while most of them are at home not working at all. The media has produced almost no stories (can't find any in a search) on this subject for some reason or another.

This is a phenomenal fact which needs the attention of some investigative reporting. Since the media appears to be in full propaganda mode, I guess there will be no stories. It is a FACT that IRS workers in Texas are at home receiving full pay while doing no work at all and have been that way since the lockdown started.

This is just unbelievable. Millions of Americans suffering and Federal workers getting full pay for doing NO work during all of this is just beyond the pale. They take our tax dollars while we’re going broke and go on with their merry lives. No wonder all government workers are in favor of the lockdown.

It reduces the general population’s financial status and makes them subservient to the government, or else. It also makes people more open to accepting horrible stimulus payouts which will make them further dependent on the government. I can not find the words....

They should be working from home, or on unemployment like everyone else. This is very disturbing, and will lead to them not wanting to go back, because they are quite happy sitting around at home trying for paychecks while the rest of us struggle with bankruptcy and all.

Surfing the Net for Porn is much easier when you’re “working” from Home sitting naked in front of your Computer.

It might be a problem in the Office.

Right. There would be a whole lot more anger at this lockdown if all those fed workers in NORVA and MD were not being paid.

With a lot of these Fedzilla “workers”, it would be a blessing that they aren’t actually “working”. And by “working” I mean f**king up Americans’ lives and livelihoods. Better yet would be to let them, for once, experience this thing in we in the private sector have to face all the time when things get dicey. It’s initials are R.I.F.

I’m convinced the majority of those wailing for eternal lockdowns know where their next grocery funds and rent/mortgage check are going to come from.

It’s time to end this attempted holodomor by the left.

I wonder if they will be eligible for “Nancy” money in the next stimulus.

I worked for the Veterans Administration for 24 years as a pharmacist. When we had a government shutdown I, nurses, docs etc. as essential showed up and worked. We got paid for it when the shutdown was over. This was okay with me. We had a duty to care for the patients.

The damn paper pushers were considered non essential and just stayed home for a week or two. When the shutdown was over they also received pay for work they did not do! The paper pushers are the progressives and not the workers. A shut down is supposed to hurt. Those leftists loved it!

Should not homeowners be receiving refunds on their property taxes for public school services not delivered?

How is federal workers not working a loss to the economy?
What do they produce which adds to the economy?

I am still getting my social security checks on time.
