Well I'm sure happy for you. I'm still not getting a paycheck working 45-60 hours a week in a public safety role. Glad I just sold a house to keep my family afloat for a while because it doesn't seem to be resolved anytime soon.

Im sorry you are experiencing that as a government worker

Im wondering when it will begin affecting the public it serves?
 
Not many not in government work have noticed

Wish those guys would get paid - but they will.

Probably be cool if democrats didn’t tie their pay to health covg subsidies

A neighbor couple are both federal employees who are working for free at the moment. I asked how they were last night and he wasn’t concerned, said that they know this is likely to happen every few years so they keep enough set aside to cover operating costs for six months now. He said it’s easy to do when you know you have two federal pensions coming your way.

Yeah, we put stuff aside but had to take all those savings to front our move costs from my promotion and we just bought a new house in our new location. I won't get reimbursed for those promotional move costs until the government opens back up so our savings are a bit depleted. Again, we are in good shape though as we also just sold our old house. We wanted to add that money to the down payment we already made on the new house but will have to just wait until the government opens back up at this point. Good for your neighbors I guess... not all federal workers are equally able to save as much.
