Government Shutdown

[Dontbotherme]

My FLM just told us today that contrary to the MOU if anyone takes leave it should be annual or sick not furlough. Anyone else experienced this?

You know those times where you have an itching feeling that your FLM is full of shit...this is one of those times

You better hope tcassie doesn't catch you saying something like this

Managers are being told to leave it as the leave that was requested. They are being told the administration might want to charge the leave rather than give everyone furlough. Not surprised, give people on social security their cola but god forbid let someone go to work and get paid or get a little bit of free leave.....instead of fake news it should be fake conservatives.

That whole thread... I had not laughed that much in a while.

She’s got upper management written all over her. She could have as many as 3 people working directly under her

Better watch what you say about your future administrator! Frankly I can't wait to delete her emails too!

I figured as much but the rep isnt really saying anything just it's all good.

Then your rep should be doing a better job as RVPs are keeping them all updated constantly through Slack.

My OS mentioned that there would be a letter coming out addressing this, but haven't heard of anything yet.

It was only a matter of time.

I'm about 3 days from having to cancel bid leave because of this crap, wish they'd do that at our fac.

You don't have to cancel bid leave. It will still be approved, just changed over to furlough

Are release dates still effective during a shutdown? Or do you stay at your current facility till the shutdown is over?

Still effective

Out of curiosity, and hopefully it doesn’t last this long, but we have someone retiring Jan 31. How does the shutdown affect him?

My guess is that it would affect him in that he will be EXTRA glad to be retiring. Beyond that... very little.

 

[Shikaka]

I would assume if we're still shutdown that he doesnt have anyone to submit the paperwork to...

I wonder what implications this has on our tsp? Obviously it's a bigger issue the longer this goes on.

Not making contributions and missing out on compounding interest is through no fault of our own.

You could also miss out on losing money.

To make things more clear. If it still going on I will be furloughed the day I arrive and swear in.

Just saw this thread as some one who is going through this now. My start date was Dec 23 the beginning of the pay period. With my first real day being the 24th. Then got pushed to the 26th since Trump made Christmas Eve a holiday. Then the government shutdown. I have yet to start and unable to swear in due to there is no one at work to swear me in.
