I don't think anyone would have actually taken a pay cut (or at least would have gotten back pay a few weeks later). I think that was just a scare tactic that was thrown out to get media attention.

What is really pathetic is how little this whole showdown has really meant. It is, in fact, nothing but grandstanding and a big waste of time. One side wants to spend $3.65 trillion, the other wants $3.62 trillion. Regardless of who wins, it will make no difference for all intents and purposes. They are putting us through this for nothing. And this was just an early skirmish. The war to come hasn't even started yet.
