But, because this is government, furlough days shut down EVERYTHING, rather than having crap-ass employees using their furloughs indivdually so that offices can remain open.

This is nothing more than an illustration of why government cannot be trusted to run anything.

The state has implemented this same “great hardship” by doing the same thing. Shut it all done and fein hardship.

You all blow.

There was very little advanced warning on when the days were going to be, and some of them are still in flux. I would also say that it was probably very unlikely that the poor guy had enough vacation time to take another day off, or enough time to flex his day off to accommodate Walker’s whims.

Congrats to Barrett, that was a cool thing to do.

But, the old saying goes, poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on our part.
