Furloughtude

The unique attitude developed by federal workers once they’ve been notified that they will be furloughed, due to government sequester.

Given that furloughed employees are forced to take one-day/week unpaid leave, those afflicted with furloughtude care 80% as much about their job as they did before the furlough.

Typically, those stricken with furloughtude develop the malady because they have been told that the nature of their work is considered ‘non-essential’.
