Many work overtime to get things done and never claim overtime or comp time. Those are the guys really getting screwed because, guess what, they still do stuff on their furlough day because that is what they learned while they were in.
Exact situation at the base I just retired from; even the non-vets are just really dedicated folks, just the way they roll up here. I went back for someone else's ceremony and gave a briefing on what the permanent furlough thing feels like. I hope some who are eligible (but not properly positioned) don't do a hasty thing when they're not ready for it. But many have just had it; sucks big time.

Someone keeps putting out sequels to this really dismal movie while those who should have this laid at their feet should be immediately terminated for complete failure to achieve a critically core performance objective.
