Has anyone here been laid off due to Government Shutdown??

If so, good luck and I hope it's brief.

Also, what are you hearing?

Several times in my federal career.

I am furloughed right now, in fact.

I am not worried, since we automatically get paid when they reopen, even for not doing work (but we are not allowed to do any work now, even for free).

I am more worried about possible reductions in force over the next few months.

@JoyfulSilence Thanks for sharing that info. I hope things go back to normal for you.

I got to go home early today!

And it looks like I get a mini vacation. But I am supposed to stay in town in case they reopen.

@JoyfulSilence hopefully just a brief respite...
