The back pay is through the furlough. I get that. When it’s over do all non-essential get called back? This can be complicated and I was in a similar position some years ago. We could draw unemployment, but if called back and made whole we had to pay it back. It will be interesting and the longer it goes the tougher it gets.
“When it’s over do all non-essential get called back?”
That’s the operative question. As I see it though, the lower level supervisors are the same bucket of crap as the worker bees, and they too have a vested interest in the continuation of the Federal gravy train. But the appointees can start looking at what really didn’t get done, and RIF accordingly. Yeah, I know, Fat Chance!
