I had to proofread and post up to the public my agency's shutdown plan yesterday. https://www.ferc.gov/news-events/news/ferc-posts-plan-operating-event-lapse-appropriations-1 Once the money runs out. We get out. EDIT: Ghost Cactus posted:Has anyone moved laterally/to the same step and grade before? If you have, why did you? Yes. More money (career ladder), less stress and no production quotas.

My IRS remote call site kicked out an email telling everyone we can't work more than ten hours of overtime per week and no overtime after 6 pm, starting 25 September (this Monday).

Yeah that's what I did: 6 weeks of sick leave immediately following the birth + the 12 weeks of paid leave + another month of annual.

Shutdown looks inevitable at this point. The remaining question is probably whether it's just a day or two that spurs them into a deal or whether it becomes a sprawling affair Crickets from my agency so far--no communications at all about it. my job involves a lot of scheduled meetings with the public, and I emailed various people for the coming week to give them a heads up that we'd probably have to reschedule. Half of the responses are supportive and the rest are  and had no idea such a thing was possible

Last shut down I had vacation time scheduled the week it started so I got to take that time off and didn't use any vacation time so it worked out well enough. Also, IIRC the last shut down ended because the flight attendant's union threatened to shut down all airline travel in the US so they have the power. I guess we'll see how long it takes before they end up using it...

What I recall from the last shutdown, all scheduled leave is cancelled. If you're an essential employee, you're expected to be at work. If you're a non-essential employee, you're furloughed, so you will be off those days anyway. When you return to work, you will have those 2 days of AL available.

Last place I worked if you needed to take leave while essential, you couldn't take leave exactly, you just signed furlough papers for any days you took off. (Some peeps used it as a free vacation) E: On another note the communication coming from my agency leadership is honestly surprisingly good, considering 90% of our staff are WCF, but the GF peeps are happy about the quality of info and communication even though it's not necessarily good.

I certainly hope I won't be called back as essential, I had my last day in my office last week and am on admin leave while I move to another state to report to my new location. It's with the USCIS, so at least it's fee funded? Dunno, but I am excited to see how it all works out.

I took AL for the first week of October and just confirmed with my boss that, even though I'm exempt, I'm free to just go on my vacation and he's not gonna bother me. So, regardless of all other consequences of a shutdown, it'd be cool to get those 40 hours back. DHS management just sent an email about a potential lapse in funding. Haven't seen that recently even with the hemming and hawing about CRs the last few years, so seeming more and more likely.

Wow, I think I'd lose it if I was asked to do skits outside of possibly some sort of training class. Especially 2 days before a shutdown. I've had some interviews with local govt jobs. Their hiring pace is kind of the same. I'm ready to retire and get kicked repeatedly in my left nut instead of the right I guess.

Here is the relevant part from page 12: You won't be charged leave but you won't have to be at work if you're non excepted either, and if you had previously planned travel and your management aren't dick heads you won't have to cancel your plans. If you're excepted figure it out with your bosses. They have to use this annoying lawyer language but that's the bottom line.

For amy lurkers in the thread for whom this is their first shutdown--I would download your last few paystubs from EPP or employee account and upload your SF-50 or any other proof of employment to your USAjobs account to print it out or email it later to your landlord or utilities. Might need it in case things get drawn out long enough to miss a paycheck.

I'm in the 1/3 that's furloughed, though.

EPA is working next week, there are funds to cover payroll. According to the union, it's unknown if we'll get paid for that on time or have to wait until this is resolved. Trips are canceled though, which is an annoyance since I had one scheduled.

If you're wondering how well prepared SSA was, we had an emergency meeting around 1pm with 10 minutes' notice while our office was open (finish with clients, if you can't in time put em back in the lobby). And our management team is open and communicative enough I know they were basically briefing us right on the backs of being told. We're all coming unpaid. No word yet on workloads, because Kilolo Kijakazi (PhD, MSW) apparently had more important things to do for Left-Handed Non-Binary Inuit Week or something
