The most alarming report I have seen was out of Palm Springs.
TSA OFFICIAL THREATENS TO CLASSIFY WORKERS AS AWOL AS SHUTDOWN ‘SICKOUT’ LOOMS
Due to excessive unscheduled absences recently experienced at PSP (Palm Springs International airport) that has adversely impacted security operations, if you have an unscheduled absence, you will NOT be placed in an intermittent furlough status.
Your unauthorized unscheduled absence will be coded by payroll as absent without leave (AWOL). At the conclusion of the government shutdown, an employee’s AWOL status may result in progressive disciplinary action.
