Yep, same here Davs2601. It was nice having three days to get the yard work done, but many more people need this to end than don't.

I have been on both the 4x10 and the 4x5x9 schedules here, and I did like them, but that 10 hour day can sure feel long. The problem with it here was scheduling for 24/7 operations. Easier to do with 8 hour shifts.
But yes, I agree. I'd rather have the money than the time off.

I believe they're discussing this for WCF employees, but not all.
They can't pay for hours not worked. Edit: I am a GS, not a WCF.
They can and have before. The last furlough (several years back) they went back and reimbursed. The irritating part for some of us, maintainers to be exact, is that our labor is paid for years in advance by congress. So, by furloughing us, all they did was cost DoD more money due to delayed maintenance and other costs. They didn't save a dime by furloughing about 60% of us. But nobody cares about that part. We've already been told that once we come off, we will be mandatoried 7 days a week until we make up for the 18 days of missed production. So now every week we will work an extra 20 hours and time and a half pay... Where is the savings there? We still have to support the warfighter.
For those wondering where I came up with the 18 days - we work 7 days a week around the clock. When they furloughed us, they cancelled all over time. We went from 7 days of work to just 4 days. So, the gooberment thinks they saved 6 days of pay when in the end they cost 18 days of production.
I think you're getting WCF mixed up with WG. I'm GS too, but we're working capital funded (WCF).
I'd love to get back pay, but I'd be happy if they just let us retroactively charge that time to annual leave.
Sounds like normal MX management...
