I’m not saying there aren’t some buddy-fuckers who 100% deserve an abuse letter, but not only is “oops congress says no money, you’re not getting paid but you still have to come to work” not a valid excuse, but the recovery from shutdown in the past has actively rewarded scammers with free paid leave. This is a problem 100% of their own making, and they honestly think they’re completely blameless. Any other place of business would be staring down a 100% worker walk-out in a few days, and these chucklefucks have the gall to try and crack the loving whip.

Maybe this is a stupid question (I hope it is), but when the shutdown ends people will be receiving their backpay, right?

At our facility we've gotten food from XOJET, United, CATCA, and supposedly from a bunch of old rich women. Im not a fan of not getting paid and now I'm getting fat from all the food during this furlough.

To all the controllers working without pay: Thank you all for being dedicated to keeping the dots from touching, and I hope everything works out OK for you guys in the end. I heard an interview with an LAX Center controller (and NATCA VP) today. The interviewer was half-pressing for "is this a safety crisis?" and the rep said "anytime we're not 100% focused on our jobs it's a bad thing." He really nailed the pride, professionalism, and dedication to safety in your industry.

Just out of curiosity does anyone know how many people work in ORD tracon/tower at any given point in time? Also about how many slices of real Chicago deep dish* will the average controller eat? *Giordanos. Ginos is also acceptable.

It’s not exactly hidden information. “While excepted employees have the option to use their paid leave (i.e., establish entitlement to paid leave to be paid after the lapse ends), they are not required to use leave to cover periods of authorized absence from work,” Margaret Weichert, acting OPM director, wrote in a Jan. 23 memo. “Instead, they may choose to remain in the default status of being furloughed during any such authorized absence during the lapse.”

He's 30 minutes late for his announcement and you know he's watching Fox News and they're trying to talk him out of it. If it does end I think we get an emergency declaration before he tries to pull this poo poo again.
