It's a tactic. It works.. for a brief period.
I seem to remember this happening a few years ago with Republicans in Wisconsin. I may be wrong about the details, but I know it isn't the first time the tactic has been used.
Edit: I looked it up. I was wrong - it *was* Wisconsin, but it wasn't Republicans. It was Democrats again.

Is this simply the Dem playbook, then?

Wis. Democrats Flee To Prevent Union Bill Vote
As an ever-growing throng of protesters filled the state Capitol for a third day, 14 Democratic senators left the state. The lawmakers want to avoid giving the GOP majority in the state Senate the quorum it needs to vote on a bill that would eliminate collective bargaining rights for state workers.

Take their pay like Abbot is threatening to do. You don't want to do your job? You don't get paid.
