We don't work for the federal government, but we do work for a company that is contracted to operate retail sales in a government facility. (Think operating a giftshop at a national park or capitol building type deal)
We do not fall under the Federal furrow, and I'm trying to figure out what I can do as a manager (I know) to provide support or support materials for my team. Upper management seems to just be planning to chart it as “cut hours” for our part timers so they'll be SOL. I hate this. These are people who are struggling have bills to pay etc and I hate the idea that they'll be left out to dry.
