Contractors allocate their employees salary and keep it in a pot on the side so that when a furlough happens, everyone is still paid. If that pot dries up, they pull out of overhead or other projects with more money. They never have to worry. Feds have the biggest impact being that 90% of the government relies on these appropriation funds to pay salaries. The last 10% are government functions that handle their funds the same way that contractors do, which prevents furloughing their employees.
Never said that. I said that the title is wrong. Really shows a lack of quality of writing when the title of the article contradicts the article itself
That is a horribly misleading headline when the write up clearly says she was 22 and he was 14 at the time. She is 31 now and he is now 22.
John Denver confirmed it was written about Clopper rd in Gaithersburg, MD when he would frequent it on his way home to WV.
Shit in my field we are pressured into having a side hussle. Sparks creativity and innovation while being free to those who pay us.
Again you obviously dont know what goes on in the gov. I know people who work 16 hour days 5 days week and still cant put food on the table because of the poor pay. On a side note, do you need a hug?
So basically you have no idea what goes on in the government, but think that feds do nothing all day because someone said all feds are lazy? Its not the feds fault that you have a dead end job making minimum wage..
Federal employees are very underpaid for their positions and skill sets as compared to those who are employed privately. Everyone I know who works in the government are literally living paycheck to paycheck, but stay because of the job security. Federal employees arent the problem to say "fuck them" its those with bloated wallets who run the government that are the problem.
