Agency just sprung the December furlough on me. 3 weeks this time. This is getting old real quick.
I was let go yesterday, was told that my contract will not be renewed. I know others who were also affected and I know some employees are being let go too. It's been though for a long time and I was afraid this will happen but now there is no more uncertainty but there is no more paycheck too. Husband is also unemployed right now and with two kids it will be hard to go through the holiday season as I am sure nobody is hiring before January. Good luck to all and I hope this madness stops with me.
Union Pacific please please just furlough me instead of trying everything in your power to fire me along with everyone is in this god forsaken Houston shop!
Jeremy “Jobs for Life” tells NS student conductors “ They have a “Career not a JOB “… I wonder if he told that to the current UP employees being furloughed ? How many folks with years of experience lost their jobs to PSR ? NS employees have no idea what Jimmy.V is capable of doing to a railroad !

Expecting layoffs due to government shut down. Certainly furloughs should be starting soon.
I work at Spirit and I don’t know what to think anymore. The company just got court approval for $475 million in financing to keep things running during bankruptcy, but everyone here knows what that really means. Chapter 11 sounds like a plan to reorganize, but for the people doing the day-to-day work, it usually means job cuts, unpaid overtime, and endless waiting for answers that never come.
Management keeps saying operations will continue as normal, but that's not helping morale. Some teams are already being told to cut spending and delay projects, and everyone’s whispering about more potential furloughs. I’ve seen this kind of thing before in other airlines, and it always starts with a few quiet layoffs before the bigger rounds hit. I really hope they handle this the right way, but most of us are just bracing ourselves and hoping to survive the next few months.
Spirit Airlines will furlough 103 flight attendants at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport starting December 1, according to a WARN notice filed with Michigan’s Labor and Economy Opportunity division. The airline called the move temporary but did not specify how long it will last.
Spirit filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on August 29 and announced plans to scale back operations in some markets. The affected workers, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants, will be subject to protections under the WARN Act, which requires 60 days’ notice for certain plant closures or mass layoffs.
Federal workers in Colorado are bracing for furloughs and possible layoffs as the federal government shutdown begins. Many employees at the Denver Federal Center are expected to continue working without pay during the shutdown, while others face immediate furloughs.
The uncertainty adds financial strain to thousands of federal workers in the state, with no clear timeline for when funding will be restored.
Are those working on defense or space charge numbers furloughed during a federal gov shutdown that just started? Or do they just halt working those programs and hon pays them with indirect or commercial charge codes?
