[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^Some people don't like or can't handle dogs, don't like kids, and can't even keep their own house clean.  All about what you are capable of doing whether professionally or not.  No one should ever try and dictate how you should earn your money during this shutdown but preferably legal.  [/quote]

Sorry, but that's just wrong.  You took an oath as a federal employee to abide by ethics regulations including conflict of interest, so in some cases there is an interest of your agency/dept. in what you do even during a furlough.  It may suck but it also is the law.[/quote]IYep, it sucks.  What happens if this 'ethical manager' decides that your choice of work doesn't meet, in his opinion, the social status of the department or his personal expectations?  This so-called ethical manager may not find working at Starbucks acceptable for a government lawyer.  Or you'd like to wait tables at a gentlemen's club to pick up big tips?  All perfectly legal.  Yes, it happened to a co-worker who wanted to pickup super big tips by waiting tables for tuition but was advised Ihop would be a better choice.  Good thing The Playboy Clubs are closed.  She would have been fired for working as a Playboy Bunny.

There is a lot of personal bias with ethics.[/quote]
