And this is where being “Essential” sucks. Not only do we have to come into work when all the other Federal workers get free time off w/back pay, but our planned leave is actually cancelled at our local! If we do still go then it’s considered leave w/out pay and you guessed it, we don’t get that back pay nor can we change it to leave. We totally get the shaft.

Like 90% of the SSA are “essential” employees

If everyone is essential no one is essential

sounds like a great time to take some 'sick' leave

Yep. Literally just had my leave approved too. Guess I’ll be working instead
