Screwmer Shutdown Update

In case there is any doubt -- https://www.facebook.com/reel/1512587829645580

In my day working for the Fed, during a shutdown those not furloughed, working, were paid.  Those furloughed were not paid, were not working.  Just a huge workload for managers and timekeepers once the shutdown ended, to correct how many millions of timecards and do the reimbursement.

 

Some departments rotated the furloughed vs non-furloughed by day/week, so that none went days and weeks totally without pay.  One temporary solution, still a hassle for everyone one way or the other.

Trump has announced a solution. No one will be paid. He thinks this will make them mad at the Democrats.
