And I can only guess that you are some sort of statistics logger for the federal government who has been recording this data for several years?? My single example is to be dismissed but, your complaint should be taken as gospel?
Yep

I can't argue the MANY but would certainly argue all. We, meaning my division, did not receive back pay during the last furlough. You took leave or LWOP.
But I'm curious as to why you, and many others, seem to be be pissed at the Federal workers, like we have anything to do with it. Hoping it lasts several months?
Knowing that Congress isn't affected by any of this, why do you want to see the federal workforce out of work?
I agree with Rand Paul on a number of things. Unfortunately he insists on the way things *should* be and doesn't want to work with what they are. I admire his principle, but his protest votes don't amount a hill of ####. It's like writing in Mickey Mouse because you don't like either of the candidates, one of whom will definitely win. It's wasted effort and just makes the protestor feel self-righteous. If Rand Paul really wanted to move his ball forward, he'd get in there and play, not just armchair quarterback.
That sounds odd. I'm assuming you're civil service, right? Or no? Because every govt employee I know got their back pay after the last furlough.
Yes, civil service. No back pay. Swear.
I have heard that people had but nobody I know.
Not the furlough, the shutdown. Back when we were only 32 hrs/week that is all you got paid for, that was the furlough.
I'm talking about 2013. The furlough, shutdown, whatever you want to call it. Every civil service person I know got back pay for all of the time the stayed home. Same thing for 1995/96.

How many attempted federal job interviews did it take to become this bitter?

Ha. I didn't go to grad school so I could become a govt worker. But in my line of work, I often have to deal with them. What takes 1 day to happen in the private sector often takes 2 weeks in the govt sector. Incompetence, laziness, ineptitude, all classic traits of those who suck on the govt teat.
I wonder if that perception will change as the old guard retires/dies. The younger civ workforce is completely different from the stereotypes but it's also much harder to get hired now.
Oh give me a break. Government is full of incompetent hacks
So is private business, industry, academia...no segment of society is immune.
