Guess you never opened your own business.

Apparently air traffic controllers may.
"“For those Air Traffic Controllers who were GREAT PATRIOTS, and didn’t take ANY TIME OFF for the ‘Democrat Shutdown Hoax,’ I will be recommending a BONUS of $10,000 per person for distinguished service to our Country,” the president’s post read. "

Yeah, just go ahead and give away tax payer money. It's not like there aren't people out here who need it.

No. Neither did the ATCs.

KEYWORDS: first clinic
You were investing ini a business. You were not working for someone else without pay.
You are moving the goal posts. I remember when the question was, “Have you ever worked 51 days with no pay?”

That is not even comparable and a retarded take. You willingly chose to start a business and knew going in what sacrifices you would need to take. You planned accordingly and were hopefully successful.
The Fed workers who did not get paid were pawns of a political game and had no say on what hand they were just dealt.
Don't be a fricking idiot, just to be one.

People voluntarily take that risk when they open up a business. There is a risk/reward expectation for an entrepreneur. These guys stuck around without the expectation of some windfall at the end of all of this. Hell, some of them were not even sure they would have a job left when all was said and done. There should be some appreciation for that

eh I got no problem with calling out the guys who stopped showing up to work. Not only are you going to be paid in full, but your work is incredibly important and impacts other people. Selfish and lazy.
Are they still selfish and lazy if they took a few days off to go work another job that actually pays the bills?
Posted on 11/10/25 at 2:14 pm to BamaGradinTn
Neither did they. You did get paid though for working the last month.

How do you get 50+ days? The first missed paycheck for ATC was October 28th, less than 2 weeks ago.
My wife is not ATC but is deemed an "essential" Federal employee. She got 1/2 of a normal (two week) paycheck one week into the shutdown. Other than that half check, she hasn't been paid in 47 days. That's obviously not quite 50 days, but it ain't far from it either. IF the shutdown ends this week and she gets paid on schedule next week, it will be 56 days since she last got a full paycheck.
We are not frivolous spenders and I'm blessed to have a good private sector job, so it has been more of an annoyance to us than a real hardship, She told me it has been a big deal for several of her co-workers though.
I know there is a LOT of fraud and wasted taxpayer money in the things the government does. There are undoubtably redundant and unnecessary Federal employees and probably whole departments. As a taxpayer myself, I want that stuff stopped! I certainly don't think any Federal employees (my wife included) should be getting $10,000 bonuses for doing their jobs. Having said that, it is remarkable to me that most of them have stuck it out. If I went out on the floor this afternoon and told all our people that they weren't going to get paid for 7-8 weeks, but I still expected them to show up and work every day, I don't think very many of them would be here tomorrow morning.

Sorry to hear about your wife, hope she gets paid soon.
My friend is an ATC. His first $0 check as October 28th, two weeks ago. Looks like he will also get a $0 check tomorrow. I know he was planning to take part in the Thanksgiving sick out but otherwise showed up for work so the 10K will come in handy.
