Excepted - No Desire to Work

[Anonymous]

I am an excepted DoD employee. I should be heading out the door in 30 minutes to work, instead I am drinking coffee and posting here. I do ponder whether it is constitutional to force civilians to work without pay?

I'm about to head out the door also. I appreciate you and your sacrifice. Hopefully this will wrap soon so we will not miss a paycheck.

What do you mean “without pay” when the worst possible outcome is late pay and that hasn’t even happened yet?

Maybe you’re just over your job. Have you thought about leaving for something that might hold your interest more?

Since we do time cards - I had to sign a time card Friday that was coded furloughed - without pay - although I was in the office working.

No the worst possible outcome is reneging on pay. It's never happened before! Inconceivable!
But this administration (personally and politically) is notorious for not paying promised monies or for clawing it back. Just saying.

That… seems like a dumb thing to be worked up about. So I assume that’s not really what’s bothering you.

Just saying, or just catastrophizing?

My spouse - also excepted - signed a time card saying LWOP because that is what the agency said to do.

I am bothered by not getting to sit at home with my puppy and drinking coffee all day, but then being told to sign a time card saying I was doing just that.

Naval gazing.

10% of my company was laid off in March due to the administration change. I don’t love my job right now but am grateful to have one.

Our next paycheck will only be 7/10s pay. Why is empathy so hard for many in this board?

Go to work Op.

Um that's not correct. They're doing it wrong.

Calling it an empathy problem assumes I would get it if it happened to me. But I would not (did not) feel that way when it happened to me. This is a dumb whine. Everyone will get paid in the end and they know it.

Different agency but we also directed to put furloughed despite us working as excepted. Definitely worrying and I don’t remember doing that before
