President Obama gives federal employees Christmas Eve off

[wickerwoman]

18. In theory,

we get time off in lieu (TOIL ) instead of overtime pay and everyone on my team has amassed tons of it because we were given a three year work program with an 18 month deadline and no budget. We found out two weeks before Christmas that if we didn't use it before the holiday break, it would expire. Nobody could take the time off because we had a draft due the day before the break and they were still putting in fourteen hour days. Many people had more than two weeks saved up and didn't get any of it.

F'in lazy public workers!
