Same boat here, but I am classified as exempted (PC language) and therefore I am also working with no promise of getting paid. Would be interesting to see what happens if the budget gets passed and they say "Hey thanks suckers for working but no retroactive pay for you."

The good news is we will all get paid once this is over...the bad news is we will all get paid once this is over. So why on earth are we working for nothing more than those enjoying the vacation? I'm going into work every morning and not getting a thing extra than those sitting on the couch. Costs me $20/day just in gas to get into work, vacation days all cancelled, not able to call in sick, big family vacation trip in peril, yet those just merely furloughed can do as they please and will get paid the same, seems fair enough. 😣

And the thing you get that they don't is comfort in knowing at some point you will get paid. You just need to stall things long enough. At this minute they can hope for that but it's not absolute. Hopefully it will be soon.

They took the whole Indian nation
Locked us on this reservation
Though I wear a shirt and tie
I'm still part redman deep inside

Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die

But maybe someday when they learn
Cherokee nation will return, will return, will return, will return,
will return..... :-" :-"
