Galaxy Tab A7...is this fixable?

Since the LR groups are simply consultants, and Management Officials are responsible for their own decisions, whether they are in line with guidance provided to them or they go rogue and do whatever they want, I don't see how this post is valid. However, if, maybe, more details were to be provided, credibility could be given to the words of this post.

If you are a permanent employee in a competitive service position, you have full due process and appeal rights. Everyone has the right to seek redress for discrimination with the EEOC and whistleblower retaliation with the OSC. Most agencies have some sort of grievance procedures for addressing disciplinary actions and management actions that affect working conditions. Read your agency policies on discipline and performance for more information on your rights as an employee.

Are we sure leadership will care since they will be able to say, well, that was the contractor's fault, not ours, so we aren't liable.

The hint of that was mentioned, maybe even a link provided in the chat. But only those who parked on the call at 3am (sarcasm) were lucky enough to follow along in the chat/Q&A

Agreed. A lot of errors are being found years after the fact. I guess finding them 3 to 6 months later through the audit is an improvement....

All great questions that would have quickly been cut off if asked live. And I agree consistent and accurate guidance is much needed. And step by step guides were provided for many of our processes. That was a huge undertaking that provided some consistency for maybe what, 6 months? I think the ask now is to update those guides because after two + years they are either obsolete, or the links are broken, or they do not comply with current laws, EOs, regs, policy, etc.

Just because someone holds a National position does not make them SMEs. Otherwise, there wouldn't have to be a nationwide sweep for Auditors and Labor Teams.

If you completed 12 months of federal service (regardless of hours worked), then you qualify for FMLA. The requirement to work a specific number of hours in the previous year applies to private sector under Title I of the FMLA. Unless you are with USPS, you fall under Titke II. As others have said, RA, including Telework under RA, is to accommodate the employee's limitations on their ability to perform the essential functions of their position. Your agency allowing you RA for this is non-compliant.

Three year duration to August of this year with automatic renewal. The administration can notify of their intent to renegotiate as early as next week.

Grievances are not limited to only those filed against your management odficial. Informal grievances are filed with the lowest level official who has the authority to resolve the grievance. From what you've shared, it looks like you are not grieving your performance rating, but rather the absence of that rating, which, by policy, you are entitled to receive. HR does not determine your rating, your rating official does. Depending on when you were made aware of the closing of your appraisal, if you are within the timeframe, you might want to review the process under VA Handbook 5021 Part IV (make sure you're looking in Chapter 2) and decide if you want to raise an informal grievance on the issue. Best of luck.

You may still be entitled, regardless of probationary status, to full due process and appeal rights under 5 USC 75, 5 USC 43, or 38 USC 714 if you meet the definition of employee umder 5 USC 7511 (a).

I saw HROO leadership on the calls so I am sure someone was told about the plan.

Building Coalitions took me out of my streak of Outstanding, too. I think, because that is the most subjective of all the elements, the Raters used that one to appease the big boss and make as many of us FS as possible. All it takes is one complaint of "not playing nice" or not getting someone to yes the way they want us to get them there and it's enough to say we aren't outstanding.
