And if no one responds, they’ll just manufacture some sob stories out of thin air.
Yes. I work for the federal government. Every payday they take 1/4 of my check - Federal Income Tax, SocialSecurity, 0bamaKare, etc. And that’s before CA property tax, gas tax, sales tax, sewer tax, etc. So, I guess I work for them too.
I heard that the next payday is Dec 28 and that will not be effected. This no one should have a missing paycheck until Jan 11.

When the Republicans controlled the House, the Senate and the Presidency but continued funding both for Public Broadcasting and Planned Parenthood, you knew that they were not serious people. Also a serious person would use this government shutdown to fire every discretionary employee hired throughout the Federal Government from 2009-2016. If Trump actually started firing the Obama appointees, all Democrats, he would get his wall very quickly.
They always get paid for the time shutdown. I was a contractor and during a shutdown I had to spend vacation time and had to give up 2 holidays for the next year. When it was all over the feds got paid for the time they DID’T work.
F____ng civil service unions!
It would be terrible if some government employees eventually quit and get real jobs where they can never be laid off or not get paid
Spectrum Bay News 9 Tampa Bay posted something similar on Facebook.
All USCG members and retirees will receive no pay after December 28. Pay will be caught up when a new budget or continuing resolution is passed.
Remember, to be considered for our story, you MUST HATE TRUMP!!
They will get back pay even if they did not work. What a racket paid by us.
Did you enjoy your extra paid time off, or were you not planning to work last week anyway?

Protected US citizen Federal workers? What an ironic twist of fate... illegal immigration affects their livelihood.
While federal workers do not get paid during the furlough, they do get all back pay when it ends, and the time off is counted as administrative time, meaning it is not charged against their leave balances. In other words, a “government shutdown” is a free paid vacation.
I have been affected by this shutdown. I had an appointment at Walter Reed and arrived over an hour early because I left at the usual time, counting on usual traffic. The traffic wasn’t there. It was awesome. The government should shut down more often.
The DoD has been fully funded, so no DoD employees have been furloughed.
