Insult to Injury - Furloughs

Not only will we be gutted by VERA & the forking delayed resignation (so now paying 7-10 months for employees to NOT work) which should take 20% of my already understaffed & overworked LE-related division, but now we’re looking at furloughs that will mean missing over two paychecks. Anyone else? And what’s the reward for those who stay to shoulder the load? A loss of flexibilities that allowed them to do their jobs better. The beatings will continue until morale improves

Edit: not shutdown furloughs for a lapse in appropriations… administrative furloughs… “a planned event by an agency which is designed to absorb reductions necessitated by downsizing, reduced funding, lack of work, or any budget situation other than a lapse in appropriations.“
