[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would absolutely get an outside job -- but I am prohibited by ethics rules from getting an outside job that relates to my federal job (practicing law), and no temp job outside what I do is going to make up for the lost income.  So what is my option?  This is not like when someone is laid off and immediately can go seek another full time job.  We do not know when the furlough will end, and prospective employers seeking to hire someone long term know this.

In any event, I am being designated as essential and going back next week, and will have to work without being paid.  How am I supposed to get a full time job while I am working a full time job?[/quote]

Plenty of people do it.  Every retail store in the DC area has signs up for openings.  The nice thing is when the furlough ends you can quit. Your logic makes zero sense.  Is ideal, no of course not but that is life.  Also if you are in position where you are so worried about being able to replace “that” level of income pound for pound you should be able to survive a couple of pay periods without any major headache/stress. No reason outside of a recent emergency that someone in that position doesn’t have 6 months in reserve or relatively quick access to to 6 months of funds.[/quote]
