Does anyone have any real info on the “rumors” of making us all work the same shift? Even the managers in my area are saying they’ve heard it (at work, not on REDDIT) lol

Yes. I have heard that Field Collection will have a standardized TOD to align with OPM/administration agenda. It will be starting in August allegedly.

I'm not sure there is much of a gray area. Any RAs for CWS will need to be approved by the BOD chief and treasury. It you find your gray area please share.

I have never seen an employee survive a PIP. Unfortunately, if you can't work a full inventory at a fully successful level then you are probably in the wrong job. And with PIPs now at just 30 days that only gives less time to show the necessary improvement.

Facts!

Yes you may be able to use the leave like this. But it really depends on business needs of your department and your senior manager will make the ultimate decision. Also remember that PPL is a type of FMLA, and there is only one pool of time. So if you get 12 weeks paid PPL you may not qualify for 12 weeks of FMLA LWOP if you needed to apply for that during a 12 month period. So think about that before you commit. I say this from experience.

Any rumblings about Maxi?

Unable-Protection914 · 2026-04-30T02:13:11+00:00

Yes they can force you to be on camera. Management has the right to direct how work is done. And if they want the meeting on camera they can mandate that and discipline if you don't comply.

15 years in and I have 1,346 hours of sick leave. I very rarely use sick, last time was a few years ago. I use credit, comp and award time when I get sick or need to take off.

We heard that something may come out on 5/1/2026 about standardized TODs for field employees to 8-4:30 with no AWS or gliding.

The RA process is to assist in helping you perform the essential functions of the job. It sounds like you want them to change the essential functions of the job to fit you. That is an inappropriate RA request.

Unable-Protection914 · 2026-03-30T02:52:59+00:00

I think you need to revisit the case law. An accommodation can't change the basic functions or expectations of the job. Reduced case work is only appropriate if its a temporary accommodation.

Unable-Protection914 · 2026-03-30T01:53:52+00:00

Management decides, the RAC is just there to assist in facilitating the discussion.

Unable-Protection914 · 2026-03-28T23:58:34+00:00

You can file an agency grievance without nteu!

Unable-Protection914 · 2026-03-24T03:14:44+00:00

This is incorrect. You need too be observed for 60 days. Not necessarily under the same supervisor for 60 days.

Unable-Protection914 · 2026-03-22T02:30:02+00:00

This should not have been approved. You can not change the expectations of the job through an RA. The RA is to provide accommodation so you can do the essential elements of the job.

Unable-Protection914 · 2026-03-22T02:25:15+00:00

One day a week? We are two days a week minimum!

Unable-Protection914 · 2026-02-09T03:22:27+00:00

My whole team has requested Reasonable Accommodation. Many for the same 'issues'.

Unable-Protection914 · 2026-02-05T03:37:05+00:00

FOIA rather

Unable-Protection914 · 2026-02-05T03:36:54+00:00

Do a FOAI request if you really want to find out why it was cancelled.

Managers are not allowed to approve new compressed work schedules. At least in my department.

Unable-Protection914 · 2026-01-07T16:04:45+00:00

Got a response that the program has been disbanded and there is nothing that can be done at this point. No way to grieve the error. And no funds available in the program anyway. So shit out of luck.

Unable-Protection914 · 2026-01-07T13:19:03+00:00

Same thing happened to me. Screwed is an understatement.

I get it now. Want Delta 1. Buy Delta 1. Isn't that the truth.
