What is a furlough in this context? 4-day working weeks? 3-day working weeks? I'm lost and I would be scared but I've done a lot of chanting Om recently. I'm still buzzed.
The civilians have to take at least one day off a week. So it's a 4 day work week for them. Everyone can't take them on the same day, so most people split the days. I guess to assuage the pain, they are given Mondays or Fridays to make it a 3 day weekend every week. The actual days that are taken are irrelevant, but the fact that there are only three days a week where everyone is present negatively affect business. Especially given the fact that they miss time for training in the 4 days that they are working...
I can't wait till this is over. I think it's complete BS that funds couldn't be taken away in another fashion. I've seen complete wastes of Federal money over the years, but to cut someone's salary is incompetent leadership in my opinion.
