Listening to folks at work today, though, was kind of
comical. There’s a streak of disappointment going through the plant that the
furlough didn’t go through. I think a lot of people, despite the moaning, were
looking forward to some unexpected time off work.
The announcement from work is thus:
As you may have heard, Congress passed legislation last
night to fund the government through a temporary Continuing Resolution (CR)
through January 15, 2014. While it will
take a few days for the Department of Energy to process its funding
distributions, CWI has existing carry over funding to sustain operations until
receipt of the funding allotment next week.
As such, DOE-ID has authorized CWI to resume work, thereby
averting the planned furlough.
Accordingly, all employees are directed to report to work on their
normal schedule on Monday October 21, 2013.
We will provide additional information as necessary if there are any new
developments.
I appreciate your support during these times of uncertainty
and I’m excited to keep everyone working!
We will conduct a safety stand-up meeting Monday morning to ensure we are fully focused after experiencing the distractions of the
past couple weeks. Please coordinate
closely with your managers and supervisors to confirm you have clear guidance
as you move forward with all CWI activities, maintaining our stellar record of
safety and performance.
Again, a big ‘THANK YOU’ you for your patience,
understanding, and caring! This
workforce is the best! Keep your eye on
the ball – see you next week!
