Government Shutdown

[MJ]

not out yet, but everything here is updated to reflect the raises

I have a start date of 10/13/19, should I be worried about a govt shutdown delaying my start date? Sorry, not too familiar with these matters yet.

I'd say not yet they have until the 30th to fund a stopgap...til Nov 21. The pieces are in place and could go either way at this point

Then you’ll have to worry about it shutting down while you’re there ?

I’m at the academy now. Our class was supposed to eval Thursday/Friday this week and place Monday morning, but because of technical issues in the lab, our evals got pushed back to Mon/Tue next week. I know a shutdown sucks everybody, but the thought of it starting literally as you’re halfway through your evals is pretty petrifying tbh.

I don’t mind, as long as I’ll get back paid. Lol

They will most likely send you home which means you wont get any back pay.

 

[CaptainObvious]

Oh snap. I know where I’ll be. At work and still not getting paid

There is always going to be a threat of something. The reality is that they don't actually happen very often.

Home, incapacitated with a crippling amount of stress.

Trainees don’t get backpay?

Trainees don’t get backpay?

Non employees don’t get back pay. You’re not an employee until sworn in.

You swear in the first day at the academy.

I’m from the prior experience bid and guess we get sworn in on our first day at our facility?

Yaaaas

Not if they close the Academy and send you home.

 

[Mr.Tickles]

I was at the academy during the last shutdown. We got back pay for the entirety of the shutdown. Granted this didn't include any per diem but it was better than nothing. Most housing providers also let students stay and we just had to pay for utilities.

Your class would be 100% pass. Think of all the refresher scenarios you’d get to do. You’d end up with double the practice of anyone else.

That doesn't mean you can handle the pressure and nerves.

These stupid sim problems don’t mean you can do the job at your facility
