[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 582611, member: 15473"] As a government employee I am looking at four days a month of unpaid leave. It will affect my 401K contributions and my leave. They are also putting a ton of restrictions on how we take our "furlough" days. We can only take them after a paid day of work. IE: if my normal furlough day is Monday but Monday is a federal holiday I wont be allowed to take the Tuesday after it or the Friday before it. Basically that sucks! Seriously you just told me to do the same amount of work for less pay over the next 22 weeks. It will affect my family's income greatly. But God forbid I get a four day weekend out of it on the very few occasions where that would happen. They are already putting people out of the military who have been in for a while and are not showing progression. Normally these Soldiers would remain in and retire because their lack of progression is often due to promoting too fast because of the wars. I think they will probably increase this during the next year or so in order to further comply with budget restrictions. In other news we have no supplies, have to turn our monitors off every night, can't print anything, and have been told if we damage something because of negligence (IE a wall hit by a trash bin) that the damage can be taken out of our pay. PS: I work in Human Resources one level below the Pentagon. Trust me your public servants are feeling the pain but many of them have abused the system so long that they actually kind of deserve it. Sound similar to the guys who are milking Unemployment pay. They are the reason it has to be limited for people in real need. [/QUOTE]
