*Dani & Aleesh* Govt Shutdown

Has your agency said anything about the possible shutdown if they can't balance the budget or do another continuing resolution?  We haven't heard anything yet, but I'm hoping to be declared essential so I can still get paid.

I really hope it doesn't happen.

  • We haven't heard anything at my agency. Honestly, I don't see us shutting down...ever. Yay for being off tomorrow though!

  • Oh yes, so happy about the holiday!

    I just hope Congress gets their head out of theirass so we can keep doing our jobs.

  • Nope. Just that our budget is getting ridiculously cut.

  • We would definitely be shut down and not allowed to come into work.  We're currently working on getting some of our colleagues 'essential' status so they can at least come in and maintain our computer systems so we can at least work from home.

    Soo I just talked with my boss. He said that we wouldn't be allowed into work either, only to keep up with currently running machines.

    He told me that the one time that this happened in the 90s they weren't allowed in for three weeks. He also said we would eventually get paid for that time, but since no one is in accounting to cut the checks, it wouldn't be until we were all back at work.

    so yeah not essential... Yikes, glad we have some good savings!

  • I still cannot imagine us ever shutting down. The risk is too great.

  • What agencies do you guys work for? Furloughs are freaky enough, I can't imagine a "shut-down".
