I work at a government building and find it interesting that even though a lot of employees are not at work and are told government is shutdown there ganna get back payed for not working which is great and a lot of families will benefit from this but think about this at any other company if you have no vacation time or sick leave and you call in you don't get payed.if your company shuts down due to whatever reason employees do not get payed a lot of employees here at least look at it as a vacation instead of something that's hurting.I can only speak from this facility and even when this building is full there's not a whole lot of work going on.......I've learned that this place is basically a hang out spot for employees makin 100,000 plus a year or ready to retirees just waiting to finish there time to be honest government is still running smoothly to a point just makes you wonder what the other estimated 800,000 employees that aren't working right now really do not all but some are fillers ( just my opinion)
And therein lies the problem in a nutshell when it comes to this single form of Government waste. My question would be... If all the non essential personnel are still going to be paid (via back pay) then what exactly are these fools accomplishing with this so called "shutdown"? I mean other than citizens not being able to visit federal parks, monuments, museums and the WIC program, I see nothing that is really being adversely affected. Here is a list of all the agencies, number of employess and how many will be on "furlough" while in shutdown mode-
