RE: U.S. federal workers worry about government shutdown
No they don’t. It’s a free paid vacation.
My son - a Navy vet and VERY conservative - just a year and a a half ago - started working for the Dept of Labor. He had off to take his two kids to the doctor today but he was told he has to work instead. He did not complain. He just recognizes that it is what it is. Most of the guys he works with are all vets and many are younger and most conservative.
He considers himself blessed to have excellent hardworking coworkers. We can’t say that for a lot of govt workers.
