Local media here is running stories about these “poor” gov’t employees in dire straits because they miss a paycheck (which eventually they will receive, and I am even ok with a reasonable amount of interest being added — fair is fair.)
So, a couple crybaby interviews are done, and I am a halfway observant person... WTH, these gov’t employees are living in nice townhouses, etc., and they never thought to save enough $$ to be able to go a few months until new pay resumes? Sorry, unless there are extenuating circumstances, I have very little sympathy.
Exactly so!
I also understand, that these gov’t employees have excellent benefits, in addition to salaries better than the private sector! Plus, they can’t be fired! One report I read, stated that several of these workers are retired military and receive their military retirement pay every month.
