“They are asking you to put your life on the line and not paying you —, it's ridiculous,” said Donald Mihalek, 49, a 20-year Secret Service veteran whose own retirement paperwork has yet to be processed because of the shutdown.
I think here it means didn't happen.
By my colins bilingual dictionary
No decision has yet been made. 尚未作出决定。
"No decision has yet" means didn't happen. So "decision has yet ..." should be means happened?
No decision has yet been made.
This means that it has not happened, but it might or will in the future. The word order is a little weird, though, as I would probably say, "No decision has been made yet."
A decision has yet been made.
A native English-speaker would probably not say this. It just sounds too weird and confusing.
A decision has yet to have been made.
A decision has not been made.
A decision has not been made yet.
Either of these sound a lot better than the second sentence and mean basically the same thing as "No decision has been made yet."
according to Longman dictionary
yet
You use yet in negative statements to indicate that something has not happened up to the present time, although it probably will happen. You can also use yet in questions to ask if something has happened up to the present time. 尚 (用于否定句); 已经 (用于疑问句)
Yes, that it is. The dictionary explained it.
