[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New question:

For those of you who've bene through it, how does a furlough really work?  My external deadlines and work wont' go away; say I make widgets, the customer still depends on recieving 100 widgets a month, whether or not we're furloughed.

Do some folks really end up working without pay on the furlough days?  Do some just have to work that much harder on the non-furloughed days?

The widgets still have to go out - the country depends on them.[/quote]

You should not and may not work on a furlough day, it's a violation of appropriations law and illegally augments your Agency's budget.  And if your manager says you should, you should get that in writing and send it to your Inspector General.

If there's a furlough, the customer isn't going to get 100 widgets a month.  That's how it works.  Then the fools who are pushing sequestration & the other nonsensical Tea Bagger ideas can see how well things work with govt. running at 80% of capacity (one furlough day per week) as things pile up.
