DH is a federal employee, so this jerking around is getting really old!
Constantly either threat of shutdown, or furloughs, and when you think you are done with furloughs, more s*t comes.
And yes, we are absorbing pay cuts by going into savings. But it is more than that. It is not a "vacation" or "unpaid days off" because you do not know "if" or how long. You can't make plans, you can't go anywhere. And YOU CAN'T ARRANGE CHILDCARE! You can't come up with a way for your family to cope with it, because you just don't know.
One can only imagine how much cost in actual loss of productivity this will end up being across the country.
And today, he has to go in just to sign some stupid paper (3 hr driving and more than $30 in gas and tolls).
Tired of being jerked around!
