The fucker just issued an executive order giving all employees off and closing offices both 12/24 AND 12/26.
I’m sitting on plenty of use or lose I have to burn - as well as plenty of work to do such that I wasn’t planning on taking 2 full days off next week in addition to xmas. But given the fucker’s consistent war against the bureaucracy, why on earth is he showing such largesse? Given what lazy fuckups we government employees are, why do we merit 2 more days off? How does this fit into budgetary efficiency?
Re last post, sorry you do not have a boss who handles such leave situations informally.
Before I retired, I was a federal software developer. This would have created emergency work for me to make sure we could handle an unprecedented holiday pattern. I mostly liked emergency work – less paperwork and approvals. But that’s me.
As to why Trump gives you guys so much time off, obviously he doesn’t generally think what feds do is of value.
He also doesn’t care that this will cost the government money for paid overtime to complete essential work after Christmas. Trump believes in debt.
I would refine that, actually. Where money is moving toward Trump, he considers it his. In any case where money is moving away from Trump, he makes sure it’s someone else’s.
