I used to be a Fed and I thought it was bullshit when we got paid for extra days. I think it is particularly egregious when our economy is a bad as it is now and our national debt is out of control. Quite frankly the nation can't afford to pay your holiday.

Feds are also continuously shit upon in the news and haven't received raises for three years. So can we just have a day of admin leave without this being another example of how lazy we are? Please?

I doubt that various credible websites (now including WAPO) would report a rumor as fact. I think OPM is just slow (surprise, surprise)

I'm being told it's a rumor, as nothing is on OPM or the WHite house site.

FWIW, if we have the day off, I work my ASS off and earned it. Thank you very much.

In other words, you are asking me to thank myself?
