Synopsis

During a government shutdown, federal workers hear it all —

"It must be nice having a surprise vacation!”
“You’ll get back pay… eventually.”
"You could always pick up a side hustle!"
“Guess it’s ramen noodle week!”

Spoiler alert: none of those lines help.

This tongue-in-cheek, illustrated collection captures the most creative (and cringeworthy) comments people make during a shutdown — turning everyday awkwardness into laughter and solidarity.

Written from the perspective of a furloughed federal employee, WHAT NOT TO SAY DURING A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN is a humorous peek behind the bureaucracy. It’s the perfect read for anyone who’s ever worked for Uncle Sam, survived a shutdown, or just wondered what it’s like to get “thanked for your service”... with zero paycheck attached.

Inside you’ll find:
• Real-life “Did they really just say that?” quotes from past shutdowns
• A relatable nod to every civil servant who’s been through it (again)
• A quick, funny read for friends, coworkers, and family who just don’t get it

If laughter is the best coping mechanism, consider this your furlough survival guide.
