DONALD J. TRUMP THE WHITE HOUSE, December 11, 2020.
Oh yes my fellow liberal feds do this. They stay stuff like “of course Trump won’t give us any extra time off,” grumbling. . .and then he does. Trump is LOVE.
And actually I’ve found I get more raises and COLAs etc under GOP presidents than Dem ones. The Dem presidents can take the fed/union vote for granted; the GOP can’t.
Pagan holiday my eye. Which one?
He did not write in a re-opening date...though I’m sure the intrinsic understanding is that it’s back to work on Monday.
Hubby is Ret. 20 yr Career USN, Your correct.
