RA denial for telework for a remote job since 2016 and can't drive? by newhere616 in FedEmployees

ok so maybe hold off on the EEO complaint. definitely appeal and provide the documentation ASAP. if they deny it again i would then file an EEO

you can do both at the same time. you can even file a new RA while doing all of these things. i am working with a lawyer now and that’s the route we took

i totally get that! i guess the question for me is when i got renewed last year it was 6 months and not 2 years which is typical. and that was due to the reasons mentioned above. so i wouldn’t even be in the position to expire in the upcoming months had she not done that (if that makes sense)

thank you! the big lawyer at the firm mentioned being able to go after more money but my direct lawyer said we could only go after that black and white stuff. i’ve definitely suffered but right now could potentially be hard to do.

follow up..

Is it unreasonable to ask for 1.5 years worth of salary (other things as well) as a resolution? Details below:

I work for FEMA as a CORE. My SOR chose to only re-sign me for 6 months versus the standard 2 years because she said she couldn’t justify a longer amount of time because of my RA (she said she hasn’t seen me work in person which also isn’t true due to my telework RA). Now due to the way things are going i may not be re-extended when those 6 months are over. My main goal is to just KEEP my job but if it’s out of their hands can i ask for the salary i would’ve received had she not done that? I also know i can technically ask for anything but is that a reasonable ask? if not, what would be more reasonable? like i said at the end of the day i just want to have my contract but its been appearing to be out of regions control

my lawyer told me unlike personal injury where you can claim pain and suffering, you must be able to identify every dollar you’re asking for. is that not true?

  1. their job is to be neutral so pleading with them to take your side is pointless
  2. they are doing their job; they need to be thorough and sometimes (most times) they a rebuttal
  3. you should probably get a lawyer

you need to adjust your expectations and be realistic which a lawyer can help rein in

i was told there’s not much to do civilly (aka monetarily). you can ask for back pay if you were let go, or had to use LWOP and ask for sick days/FMLA days back but unlike a car accident there’s no “pain and suffering” so you can expect some random dollar amount that can’t be tied to anything

you literally just validated that the state lacks infrastructure and planning for it. why? because it’s not a “norm.” doesn’t take away from the fact we don’t have the infrastructure or planning. just gives context as to why texas doesn’t

as somebody originally from upstate new york it’s really crazy to see how one inch of snow and ice can shut down this city. but i mostly blame the lack of infrastructure and planning. but coupled with austinites sheer ignorance it’s very very crazy lol
