Heard they're trimming employees now.

This is why you check at least 3 sources before jumping to conclusions.

Preach.

I’d be willing to bet a good majority of the people here knocking others who can’t miss a check, would also be uncomfortable if they missed a check.

I agree, most would be, and should be at least mentally uncomfortable about it. However, unless they are just starting out, they shouldnt be in a position to be floundering by missing a couple paychecks. If the pandemic didnt teach folks anything, it should have taught them to always have an emergency fund for when the unexpected happens.

They are being laid off. Can draw unemployment for reduction in force notices. If their job comes back with back pay it will have to be repayed. Asked my marine grandson last night if not getting paid was going to be a hardship. He said he was fine. I am sure some of them will struggle if they have families. Military is not paid anywhere near what civilian fed employees are paid.

FWIW big is D blocking an agreement to pay the military.

I'm sure it isn't nice being laid off or fired, but I hope the republicans hold and don't cave to adding over a Trillion dollars into Obamacare
