This part is extremely shitty. The folks who usually make out the best in these situations are the non-essential employees who have always been paid once the gov't reopens so they basically got paid vacations but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if that changed this time because of the petulant baby in the WH.
But how else will I feel better about myself
Sigh.
Exactly. I honestly don't get how people can defend "calling out sick" other than that's just how they learned it. It makes no sense considering the action being described.
On the bright side, you might get hired quicker than normal!
I passed the CBT and the credit check. At this point I'm just waiting for the airport here in Boise to call me to set up an appointment for the interview. I bet the shutdown has put the whole thing on hold.
"Good news! You got the job, but you aren't getting paid and we don't know when you will. So, when can you start?"
Yes them not wanting to work because they're not getting paid makes them useless. Some of the opinions of users on this board. Geez...
Called out sick is everywhere. You called that you'd be out and are sick. They're both perfectly fine.
And this is the GOP dream, an entirely privatized gov't where we're all at the mercy of these fat cats who will sit in the middle and collect their money regardless of what happens to us.
My father flew out yesterday from JFK. Said there were considerably less TSAs than usual and that they were waving people through. No shoe or belt removal and he didn't take his laptop out his bag. None of the usual stuff. They checked tickets and that's it.
How the hell is it sarcasm? I've never heard anyone say "call in" even if that is technically correct. Call our is how many of us have heard it our entire lives. I've lived and been around the northeast coast my entire life.
