If they shut it down, Federal employees just get a paid vacation.
Laffin.....they stay on vacation. My brother used to sell software to government agencies and he was astounded at how little they actually work. This is the case in the DC area, according to him.
I work at a company that does IT work for the gov't. I'm surprised at some of the positions we do. They outsource software engineers, technicians, and...even computer call center employees. I don't know what the IT departments in the gov't actually do because from where I see, they give it all to contractors anyway.
