Furlough This – Federal Employee Appreciation Day

Posted on March 23, 2013 by Andy

The City of Warner Robbins, GA may soon be offering its federal employees something very unique.

Major General Robert McMahon, now retired and formerly the commander at Robins Air Force Base, is proposing a weekly “Federal Employee Appreciation Day” aka FEAD.

Robins Air Force Base, like other military installations, is bracing for the harsh impact of sequestration furloughs.

Civilian workers are set to be furloughed for 20 days starting from April.

McMahon has requested local businesses in Warner Robbins to support the military and its civilian employees by offering discounts to federal employees on FEAD.

He proposes FEAD to be held weekly on every Thursday in April, which means ongoing discounts as long as Congress does not get its act together to put an end to the disastrous $85 billion cuts in federal programs.

In fact, given the love federal employees are getting from all kinds of businesses, they may actually regret it if Congress puts an end to the sequester.

Considering the shaky ground federal jobs are on now, resume writing service Employment BOOST is offering a 20 percent discount for federal employees.

Fitness fanatics can head for the Energy Club in Arlington, VA to avail of the “Don’t Furlough Your Fitness” discount. The club is offering free discounts for federal furloughed employees. Offer valid only on furlough days.

A restaurant named the Daily Dish in Silver Spring, MD is offering a 20 percent sequester discount on lunch on furlough days.

Auto Express in Fayetteville, NC is offering not just discounts but also exclusive financing terms for military and civilian employees from Fort Bragg. As mentioned here previously, DC-based AutoSquad is offering sequestration discounts on tires.

The silver lining in this whole mess is that the furloughs and the sequestration cuts will go away soon enough, but Federal Employee Appreciation Day may just survive and become a permanent feature.

Sequestration Discounts from AutoSquad

Posted on March 18, 2013 by Andy

Most federal employees will be at least a little worried about the impact of the sequestration, if not directly affected by it.

Sequestration

In case you just woke up from a long sleep, a sequester was automatically triggered on March 1, 2013. The federal budget is being slashed across the board to cut deficits by $85 billion in 2013.

Everything from school spending to FAA services for passengers and airplanes is on the chopping block. The military has already been hit with $500 billion in cuts for the decade. There is another $500 billion worth of spending cuts in the works if the sequestration continues.

Civilian DOD employees are being furloughed all over the map. This means lack of access to health care and education, among other things. A lot of this pain is being felt in the Washington D.C. metro area. Entire economies in this area are dependent on federal dollars.

To help federal employees combat the sequestration blues, Washington D.C. based AutoSquad is offering special sequestration discounts on automobile tires. You can save up to $130 on a set of four tires.

A basic $25 discount is available if you buy up to three tires. You can get $50 off on four tires. This discount can be combined with an $80 rebate from the manufacturer. You also stand to save 10 percent on parts and labor if you need brakes.

The $80 manufacturer rebate is only available for Dunlop and Goodyear tires. Michelin is offering a $70 rebate. Pirelli Tires is offering a $60 rebate. Based on your choice of company, you can save in between $95 to $130 on a set of four new tires.

AutoSquad provides service in the DC and Philadelphia metro areas. They are retailers and provide mobile installation for new tires and brakes.
