[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I couldn't believe it when I read that Obama is trying to recruit volunteers to work for the Feds. I usually like him, but not today.  He's already getting volunteer labor with tons of unpaid OT.

One of my bosses got a little certificate from HR this week for 35 years service. I joked with him, asking, don't you get a new leave category for making it to 35? He started whining about how he deserves some time off after all his hours recently and I'm thinking but you can take 80 hours a pay period off. What is wrong with these people who don't want to work but won't retire?

Sorry to the pp whose wife lost a job. I lost a job once, it was awful at the time but later the best thing that could have happened. I hope it works out for her, I'd like to be my own boss for a while.[/quote]

17:05 here ... not sure how he can do that, it's a violation of appropriations law in most cases for a Federal agency or Dept. to accept voluntary work, it is an illegal augmentation of its appropriated funds.  Same reason why supervisors should not ask for, allow, or "suffer and permit" unpaid overtime, it's a significant legal issue under appropriations law, not to mention an issue with treating people who work for you the right way (it is generally illegal to volunteer your services).[/quote]
