[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Government contractor here, and yes it'd be a lie to say we aren't worried. That being said, it's possible that some gov't civilians will see furloughs before some contractors are impacted. If money is already obligated on contracts, it would be more difficult for agencies to pull that back. Instead, they might not be able to touch a particular contract until the next period on the contract or past the point at which funds are already obligated. It might be only a difference of a month or two, though. [/quote] I believe all government contracts contain an escape clause. [/quote] Most do, but not all - depends on how the contract is funded. At my organization they've started to pull back from those contracts they can. We're also looking at the civilian once-a-pay-period furlough. But it's not like the work load is going to decrease - if anything it has already increased in the areas where there used to be contractors. [/quote]
