And the furloughs are still on! I cannot believe that military contractors get to still work their 40 hour work weeks but civilian employees do not????? Why is no one crying foul over this?

I honestly believe now that at the end of the calendar year thousands of civilian federal employees are going to be RIF'd, and yours truly could very likely be amongst them.

No one in my office thought the furloughs would start. I told them it would. "Oh," they would say "the anti-Obama doomsayer is at it again." Now I get to stay, "I told ya so."

Now that RIF's look like a certainty at the end of the calendar year they will really start bugging out. Will I once again be able to say, "I told ya so?"

We all just got screwed by Congress and the President.

The furloughs are are not well considered way around the first RIF requirement which is that the veterans be retained and those without military service be let go ~ bearing 100% of the brunt of salary loss.

I'd be organizing a lawsuit the purpose of which would be to cut the hours on non-vets first, or let them go ~ whichever.

NAF and FMS employees in the DoD will be able to work too. So, Italy will get their support, and the base social worker will be busy...
