Will your Federal office be implementing furloughs if sequestration goes into effect?

And where do you work?
DH works for FBI and they've already been told there will be furlough days if we go over the fiscal cliff. Anyone else? |

| Treasury. No furloughs planned yet. Open positions are being left unfilled. |

| EPA-specifically told no furloughs. We have not been backfilling positions for months though and that will continue. |

| Yes, and I have been saving $$$ for this for months. |

Me, no....husband, yes.
We both work for the Department of Defense but I work at a lab and the money for work is paid ahead of the fiscal year. He works for a different DoD organization that is congressionally funded. We have saved money for it but I'm still anxious and angry about the whole thing. |

What agency? |

My understanding is that VA is specifically exempt from sequestration. |

Have an interview with them for a SA position in january. I guess it'll be moot since it seems new positions will left unfilled through 2013 the way things are shaping up. |

I haven't heard anything specific but I bet it will vary from agency to agency. (Some agencies have less cushion than others...) |

| This is terrible, but as long as there are no rifs, I would personally enjoy a furlough. Sure, it would suck not to get paid, but we could do it for up to a few months, actually, if needed. However, I wouldn't want it to happen because it might have a really terrible effect on other workers that did not have a cushion. |
