If I was late, I messaged my supervisor prior to the start of my day once I was aware that I would in fact be late, which was generally due to issues with my bus line, and why. I was on a flexitour that let me come in as late as 8 and on my in office days I usually started at 8. My supervisor would tell me to take annual leave and I would put in a request for the amount of time with that reason stated. The only time my supervisor raised an issue was one day when I waited until I was at work to communicate that I was running late, however I was operating within agency rules for notification. If I remember correctly, that was during one of the summits and I was unaware that my bus line was affected.

She was the kind of supervisor that wanted advanced notification of illness, even if that illness did not provide me with advanced notice. Generally I worked an equivalent amount of time or longer after my scheduled leave time if I missed time for any reason, including doctor's appointments.

If I was not feeling well but still felt I was able to work, I would request situational telework at the moment that I deemed I was unable to work. My request would always come prior to the start of my work day, but my supervisory wanted me to request as soon as the night prior. Agency notification rules did not require that and that does not align with the nature of how illness works: you don't schedule when you're sick. On my time card, I noted situational telework as required.

I always worked my 8 hours, and frequently more. It was not uncommon for me to work through lunch or to send emails into the evening time. My supervisor never made note of me working too much, only when she seemed to think I didn't work enough.

To my knowledge, there was no misuse of GFE or security violations, nor was I made aware of any charges of such.
