I work with a lot of civilians. A large number of them are furloughed. The entire post grinds to a halt every Monday and Friday due to furloughs. These people are not union. I don’t know where you get “union” out of “civil service employees.”
That's how you can tell the DoD does that on purpose, to "make it hurt." In the private sector, companies usually rotate the furlough days to minimize the disruption to the business. Obastard gave one order for "sequestration:" Make the cuts as painful to the public as you can. That goes double for the military. Locking out the entire population from the PX is a great way to do that.
What a shame...Would have hoped they would increase the furlough days to 355-days..Still would have left more-than-enough time to accomplish any tasks that go with the job...
There’s no doubt it’s on purpose. At the unit level, we have to make it work somehow, but DoD can play the budget tantrum game all they want.
