You wouldn’t have been paid on time. You would have worked without pay |
| State Dept told us to go to work Monday as normal. Is that legal?? |
Yes. You are supposed to go in to execute an orderly shut down. |
Yes, unless the House messes this up. |
My agency (IC) was talking about just telling us to stay. Don’t know what reasoning they’ll use but I think that’s what will happen for us. |
I did work without pay as excepted. But we are fee funded so should have been exempt rather than excepted and paid on schedule with those funds. |
Sounds like no suspension of the rules so the vote will be on Tuesday at the earliest, assuming nearly all Republicans will vote for this which is doubtful. |
So was true when I posted Friday. Now (Sat night): C-SPAN: The ongoing government shutdown will continue until at least Tuesday. House Rules Committee just added a 4PM meeting on Monday to approve the government funding bill the Senate revised. Full US House is expected to vote on the rule Tuesday and if approved, vote on reopening the government. So reopen would now be Wed. |
But more importantly dems will not give it any votes per Jeffries. Are there enough R votes to get it over the finish line? I dont know. |
Yes. No one is willing to be the R who blocked this. |
What is Jeffries deal? This seems like a very stupid move. They have momentum right now. Get this passed on then laser focus on DHS/ICE. Huge self-own |
Nothing is going to happen to DHS/ICE anyway, so the whole thing is a self-own. |
| Go to office on Monday to do shutdown activities or do it from home? |
Some people at my agency will stay at work Monday, others will do orderly shutdown and go home. It depends on which office you’re in. |
Our office was told OPM guidelines are that we have to go in. |
