I got a detailed dump from one of the most upstanding, hardworking and =
sincere govt employees I have ever worked with on the sequester.

In addition to the 1-day-per-week furlough, the people in her area were =
told that they ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT do any work on unpaid overtime.  She =
heard of one office that implemented software on their blackbarries that =
shut them off in non-working hours.  She said that there was a range of =
reactions among employees but that for the most part they felt they had =
to comply.  And finally, she said that they have been forced to =
prioritize absolutely essential functions and stop doing other ones.

I suspect that FSDO inspectors have been forced to drop most =
inspections, since there is another route (DARs) that applicants can =
choose.
