[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a contractor and only get paid when I bill and I can only bill when I receive work. So if there is a shutdown, once I finish my queue I won’t be receiving work because the feds won’t be at work and I won’t get paid. I don’t get some lump check when the shutdown ends. I will not be paid whatsoever.

My situation is not unique. Many people will find themselves in same position. [/quote]

Most contractors I know accept this risk for the significantly higher pay. [/quote]

PP here. So how many contractors do you know? You know ALL or the majority of contractors in order to make this statement and hold this position. So F this contractors, right?

This is the job I was able to get to be able to have a schedule to take care of my SN kid. The hiring process for fed agencies is long and arduous, I couldn’t just wait 6+ months. I don’t make higher pay. I also don’t get benefits. People who are so smug against a large group of employers who will be severally burdened and hurt if there is a shutdown should not be dismissed.

You suck. [/quote]
