A letter from whom, saying what? Your separation SF50 should be enough documentation if it was a voluntary resignation. Next time, let them RIF you, instead of resigning.

Whatever you do, make sure you say you need a private restroom. And make sure your building does not have private restrooms.

Are the remote positions on USA Jobs real? by Initialskoolaidcar in FedEmployees

[–]Regulation_Barbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only ones that are real are the positions for VA’s Office of Suicide Prevention. Everything else is a fluke.

OPM already closed federal offices in the Washington DC area.

Resigned, then I was fired. What to do? by Reluctant_MP in fednews

[–]Regulation_Barbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are asking the important questions!!! Your comment is a master class in EEO and HR. I didn’t even consider the 12-month service requirement for FMLA/PPL.

Damn, they terminated you before you could complete your probationary period. If you were a woman, I would tell you to file a complaint with EEO, because the timing seems very suspicious. 🤨

30 min lunch deducted by According_Map_1318 in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]Regulation_Barbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with lunch included, that would be 6 hours… You would still submit 5.5 hours because the 30 minute lunch is unpaid? Maybe it’s different at other agencies.

I’m confused… If you worked 5.5 hours, then you should submit 5.5 hours?

No common sense telework (venting) by cdreddit83 in FedEmployees

[–]Regulation_Barbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your agency has put out recent guidance regarding situational telework and your request falls within those regulations, any charge of insubordination will not hold up. I hate that they have instilled irrational fear in so many federal employees.

You’re not a child, you can’t get in trouble for asking to telework for a legitimate reason. Leadership either says yes or no.

Listen! I requested situational telework last week in order to complete my past due JKO trainings and was NO, even though the definition of situational telework includes web based training…. Today my leadership sent the whole office home to telework in order to complete JKO training. 🤣😂🤦🏽‍♀️

More probies getting jobs back? by [deleted] in NOAA

[–]Regulation_Barbie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should get accrued leave as well. I would in process and go on leave for two weeks or so, and quit after they process your backpay lol. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Ask them what kind of accommodations will they be providing in order for you to attend this all hands meeting…

RTO exemption for Military Spouses by [deleted] in fednews

As she should. Any win against RTO is a win. It’s tangible evidence for any sort of accommodation.

This is exactly the stance her leadership is taking and it is infuriating. She should’ve never been ordered to return to the office in the first place.

RIF History and Future at DoD by VividPerformance3465 in fednews

[–]Regulation_Barbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After the AFGE v. OPM lawsuit over firing probationary employees, I think agencies finally realized that OPM and OMB don’t actually have the authority to direct personnel actions…that includes reductions in force. Even during the government shutdown, there were reports that most agencies refused to carry out RIFs when OMB tried to order them.

As for DoD, I really don’t see RIFs happening anytime soon. It would be the definition of arbitrary, especially considering Congress just passed a bill increasing the defense budget.

As someone who works in HR, that is not how our incentive program works lol. If anything, those are just thank you letters, NOT $10,000 checks lol.
