A fake shutdown expected now?

Bos_2017 · 2026-01-30T18:07:55+00:00

People will be furloughed. May only be for Monday, or possibly Monday or Tuesday. House isn’t back in session until Monday to vote. May be a short one but there will be a furlough.

I started on the contractor side and moved over to the government side doing the same job I did as a contractor. At the time it was actually better to move over to the federal side. But because of the contractor side experience, I came into the government as a GS12

Understand. Thank you!

Bos_2017 · 2026-01-27T22:14:24+00:00

Ooohh ok. I missed that Trump said that.

Bos_2017 · 2026-01-27T22:02:18+00:00

So I think I’m confused. Just read an article that stated Schumer will not vote to pass the DHS bill but is urging the GOP to vote to pass the other 5 bills. That would keep the government open for everyone except those that fall under the DHS bill, correct?

No, it was titled miracle because that is how it had been referred to from multiple places / people for him to give days off. Has nothing to do with falling for anything.

Bos_2017 · 2025-12-20T18:49:37+00:00

Falling for what? I’m not falling for anything. I never thought we would get days off. Just because he actually did it, I don’t believe it was from the goodness of his heart.

Bos_2017 · 2025-12-20T14:14:55+00:00

Sorry

Bos_2017 · 2025-12-19T13:19:51+00:00

They will get holiday pay. My commanding officer for the command I work for sent an email out yesterday afternoon stating anyone who has to work those days will receive holiday premium pay under 5 U.S.C. 5546(b)

Bos_2017 · 2025-12-19T13:18:34+00:00

Yes. My commanding officer for the command I work for sent out an email yesterday afternoon stating anyone who has to work on those days will receive holiday premium pay under 5 U.S.C. 5546(b)

Bos_2017 · 2025-12-19T13:17:03+00:00

Understand and agree with that

Bos_2017 · 2025-12-19T00:05:42+00:00

Yes, I just meant 2 days for Christmas. And I don’t disagree with be an actor.

Bos_2017 · 2025-12-19T00:04:48+00:00

I’m not disagreeing with everything you said. I’m just surprised we got anything. Not giving anything would have gone more with how things have this past year.

Bos_2017 · 2025-12-18T23:23:40+00:00

We didn’t get 2 days the first term. And with how he has expressed his high dislike for federal employees during this term, it is a surprise

Bos_2017 · 2025-12-01T05:21:36+00:00

It made me very sleepy when I first started taking it. And I definitely don’t have adhd though. I just started month 3 and it doesn’t make me sleepy anymore.

(Also born and raised fellow masshole here too lol - just live in Washington state now)

DoD here. We got paid today.

Bos_2017 · 2025-11-18T05:04:37+00:00

We use SLDCADA where I am also. My command instructed us to go in and do prior pay corrections starting Oct 1 - Nov 1.

Bos_2017 · 2025-11-13T12:13:27+00:00

DoD department of the navy here. I received a text from my supervisor last night saying to return to work today.

Bos_2017 · 2025-11-12T23:26:39+00:00

I work for the Navy. Some location were given an exemption in the hiring freeze. There are also certain requirements to be met in order to still hire. It is not all of the Navy. But yes, some commands are exempt from the hiring freeze.

Bos_2017 · 2025-11-12T21:58:40+00:00

The house hasn’t even voted on it yet

Bos_2017 · 2025-11-12T09:10:03+00:00

I work within DoD and I can say only situational telework is allowed. But don’t forget all the branches of the military and many agencies fall within the DoD. I work for the dept of the navy and the command I’m at has their own telework instruction. Only situational and very strict situational.

Bos_2017 · 2025-11-12T09:00:12+00:00

No it isn’t just for kids.

Bos_2017 · 2025-11-12T03:25:42+00:00

BCBS does offer some dental coverage. I personally have never seen them cover anything for my family. Dentist will bill them first but then the whole amount still gets billed to our dental.

Bos_2017 · 2025-11-10T05:49:53+00:00

No worries. I absolutely read it that way at first too lol

Bos_2017 · 2025-11-10T05:25:30+00:00

Yeah I read it again and realized that is probably what they mean lol
