Omg hearing that makes me feel disgusting.... excuse me as I go wash myself in bleach....
I think that my way of thinking about things like taking this and going okay what are the optics is one of the reasons I do not fit in in DC lol.
I think siggy has a point here. I often hear things like, "Trump's actions have a real impact on people's livelihoods!" as a justification to anger. But they are just going through a common experience that most other people have to go through. Why do they feel like government work means you're entitled to absolute job stability? The Federal government supposedly exists to serve the people. It is not a jobs program for federal workers.
I understand why federal workers might be upset and they have every right to be. But if agency heads view their primary mission as protecting their subordinates' jobs, then the agencies will quickly devolve into bloated inefficient messes. (Which I think has already happened.)

Edit:
If back pay is approved, make it a paper check so people have to come into the office
