furloughed?

[Frixxxx]

Yes. If this goes on for more than a week I will likely have to withdraw my application for a home loan...withing a couple weeks of closing on my first house. Lovely.

Hopefully your docs will be funded before you have to show no income....then you should be in your new house......Good Luck! My fingers are crossed for ya!

I got one for ya. A buddy of mine I work with is in a excepted position. Has to come to work during the furlough with me because of job but he received a RIF notice 2 weeks ago and he is not being bumped. Strange.

I got furloughed, and had to go straight to jury duty. Yippee! I didn't get selected so maybe I can enjoy a day off tomorrow.

I think we'll get back pay.

What did you do on your shutdown day off today? I went fishing

Took a nap, and dreamed about work...oh the irony

 

[alevin]

I DO NOT think folks will be getting back pay. And, folks who are working may find the IOUs rather worthless.

That is my sense this time around as well, Boghie. don't ask me why, it just is. woman's intuition? I knew we'd get furloughed, didn't have to pass it to see that coming.

Last time around I put in for unemployment cuz they told us to, did the job hunts, never submitted the jobhunt record, never drew a UE check before they called us back. this time feels different.

This time, I'm working on upgrading my resume while spending time helping family that needs help badly right now. timing is ironic.

I'm with Nasa ! ...this is one reason I decided to retire early, when I did...saw this (and a lot more !) BS coming down the tunnel !

Good luck to those of you dealing with this crap...I've "been there, done that", and I feel for y'all.

Stoplight...

I was not furloughed...just in basic category of "you must come to work and you'll probably get paid later on"

But I think of the famous quote "No man is an island unto themselves...ask not for whom the bell tolls...it tolls for thee."

I am no more essential than any one of you that was furloughed...I hope this ends quickly for all of you....and that you get back pay in the end.

We had some of those have to work guys upset because we got the back pay without working once.

 

[Bquat]

Just a reminder to you guys in a non-pay status. Be sure to deselect the auto pay function in your banks bill pay system. I don't know if your bank will stop the payment if you have nothing coming in. You wouldn't like to get over draft fees also. Just a suggestion.

 

[tsptalk]

I say enjoy your furlough. If this is your first time through this, in the past they have always paid in full once the shutdown ends.

Folks,

Why are we talking wistfully about the sixth CR in a row. They are supposed to be emergency spending to get a budget passed and funded.

By the way, I am wondering what the bottom line number for FY2014 (the CR???) is. Is it higher than current spending + inflation? Does anyone know this?

Interesting choice of words. I hope they get back pay sent to their bank accounts. They're getting enough in the end as it is!:laugh:

 

[burrocrat]

this morning i got furloughed. tonight i'm getting furloaded. cheers.

 

[Viva_La_Migra]

Not furloughed, but I have to record my hours under the code for furlough until the shutdown is ended and I can send in corrected T&A's. If you know what AUO is, I have to track that separately from the furlough hours, but they say there is no guarantee of payment once the CR or budget is passed. Interesting that they would put themselves into a suffer or permit lawsuit situation, but I'm not surprised.

 

[Boghie]

NASA,

Let's just cut them. We really don't need to replace them either...

And, yes, me was furloughed as Jar Jar Binks would say

 

[nasa1974]

Both sides at fault. Lets replace all of them and get some term limits in place.

 

[alevin]

Yes, furloughed, hope get paid, and tg for the emergency fund, just in case.
