[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ Essential”  who are working should 100% get paid - there should be a rainy day fund for this.  Examples include active military and others deemed “dangerous essential”.  Not right to pay for work performed in any book. However, those furloughed should not receive back pay.  Yes..not their fault govt ran out of money but how is this different from a private employee who lays off employees for the same reason?  We assume the loss of employment -why do Feds feel entitled to pay if their employee has no $$ to make payroll. [/quote]

We have had these shutdowns and near shutdowns since the 90s.

The promise to pay furloughed employees is simply a cheap recruitment tool. Many fed employees are from a LMC or working glass background — the attraction of Fed work was stability, and huge gaps in your salary is pretty antithetical to that. Now that stability has been tossed out the window with DOGE, not paying furlough will be the final nail in coffin for future employees, but maybe it’s fine because they will privatize almost everything?[/quote]
