There are federal EMPLOYEES, but no such things as federal WORKERS.

The first mistake is calling them workers.

Serious people would not just end public funding for the abomination of “public” broadcasting—they would ban private funding for it as well.

The only way to kill that leftist propaganda beast is to chop off its head.

I work for the DoD but it doesn’t affect me; since, according to one my co-workers a deal was reached and signed by Trump back in September.

GOV’T SHUT DOWN, 6 WORK DAYS, 8 DAYS OFF WORK = 14 DAYS, 2 HOLIDAYS IN 2 WEEKS THAT FALL ON A WEEKEND WHICH ARE OFF DAYS FOR MANY WORKERS. NOT MUCH OF SHUT DOWN! + HANGOVER WEDNESDAYS.

What does it mean to “burn excess vacation or sick leave”?

I warn vacation time and sick leave; like everyone else.

The Federal Govt does not provide long term disability. So if Inhave a heart attack or a severe accident; I save my vacation to ensure a I can recover before I have zero income.

I can only carry 240 hours over, year to year. For the past 7 years I have taken about a week LESS vacation than i am entitled to. If I carry over more than 240 hours, it is lost. Lost as in I do not get a dime for that time. Use or Lose.

During a Govt shut down; you MAY NOT use accumulated vacation time.
