Ah, man, sucks, sorry to hear that. I'm losing about 12% as of late April or early May. Such an unnecessary and stupid way to go about this. Worst Congress in history.
I'm a contractor myself, you guys should prepare for the worst but I think effects will be minimal. I'm expecting you Govies to get furloughed one or two weeks, then a stop gap will be passed and you guys will get back pay. No guarantees of course... but time will tell.

I think so, too, especially when it hits the FAA and flights start getting delayed, which will really be what most people care about. Of course, then we do the exact same thing in September, when the budget is up again. Then they do their little PR routine and pass another continuing resolution. Like I said, this Congress is pathetic.
good to see plenty of folks on here fighting the good fight. I deal with contractors a lot. I hope this mess gets cleared up soon, and yes, this is the worst congress ever
Free bump from a fellow a Government employee. So you got your furlough notice already? Our latest update is that our notices will be coming next week with furloughs starting late April. Best of luck on your sale. I'm not in sell mode, but I've quite buying and have to probably forgo the new house purchase we had planned.

Good luck with your sales!
