Government shutdown

[dbs907]

I thought A bill was passed to protect controller pay during a government shutdown after last time? Or did I imagine this??

 

[Mike Kilo]

I think you have an overactive imagination....

Winner winner! Tell him what he's won!

An all expense unpaid trip to work!

And it's officially shut down.

 

[Stinger]

And it's officially shut down.

One of us doesn't know what "officially" means.

You can stay up for two more hours. Nothing is going to change.

 

[Spoony90]

So this mean I don’t go to work? Lol

 

[Mike Kilo]

Call in sick while you can! They always cover your pay and the leave. It costs you nothing!!!! (Call in sick at your own risk)

So I'm 2/2 on shut downs fucking me this decade yay.

I go on prime time on Sunday, non refundable plane tickets bought and paid for, visas processing fees paid etc, monetarily it's a wash being converted to furlough leave and not being paid vs not going..... so ya I'm definitely going. Question is-

Someone who was around for the last one chime in what's my no bullshit chances of my leave becoming paid again?

Am I SOL on this and just gonna eat 1/3 a month of pay or what?

 

[Mike Kilo]

We had a guy take two weeks prime time during the big shutdown. Was paid for all the time off AND they didn’t use his leave. IMO you’re fine. Enjoy one on Uncle Sam.

It’s my fault. Every time I buy a house we get furloughed.

So you are the cause of my layoff and hiring freeze last time this happened?!

You sumbitch.

 

[MJ]

If it makes you feel better I never got paid after being sent home.

You didn’t get any pay for the last shutdown?

 

[MJ]

Nope.

I was charged LWOP. Shutdown ended, I came into work, sup told me ATM said not to come in since I was scheduled furlough and I would get admin leave. I went home, saw furloughed on the next pay check, questioned secretary who said ATM didn’t have authority to put me in admin leave (she’s a whole ‘nother story...) and told me take annual or LWOP. Tried to grieve it and RVP shut it down.

 

[Oz3l0t]

Not that I’m aware of.

I also lost a day, got furloughed one shift last time and just had to eat it.

 

[Mike Kilo]

I was furloughed with sequestration, which was separate from the big shutdown. It was also only one day, and they ended the furloughs in the first four days or so due to delays. I was forced to use 8 hours of annual leave to receive the pay in that situation, after they cancelled it etc. I believe NATCA fought to get us that.

The people that were off for the actual shutdown were all paid.

 

[GulfCharlie]

I like working for free.

I have NPTL today and tomorrow- it'll be interesting to see what happens. Fingers crossed I get lucky and get paid AND the leave is free- a coworker was telling me that happened to him last time.
