May. 24th, 2016 07:22 amWill I be moving Mem day weekend? Still work is happening, still it is slow. I just realized I "save" $1500 a week if he isn't ready this weekend. Huh.
This case is one of the few I've had that makes me feel bad. The Appellant is perfectly nice, only in her 3rd proposed discipline for AWOL / not calling in, there isn't any real choice but to fire her. But she says she faces depression, not actually diagnosed, and for most even depression allows for calling in. Still - not calling in sounds even more depressed. My overall impression is she's gotten away with crying her way out of trouble forever, and she's sort of baffled that the same old tricks aren't working this time. I don't mean tricks like a liar in many of my other cases - like this is just what you do.
I remember throwing a tantrum as a young adult. I felt wronged, and couldn't figure out that "going far enough" wasn't going to get "justice" that I wanted. I'm having no luck figuring out why things I learned from 17 are not things everyone learns. I'm not some special flower, so I think 1-2 more little turns and I might be a formerly-jailed meth-snorting corpse. So was it just whiteness and college educated parenting that helped me? Did I just get lucky? Or is there some trait that I had that helped me pull my head out of my ass? How can I help others with head-ass-pulling?
There is no choice in this case though, 2nd action (3rd proposed), no medical to back up her claims, and her talk about accommodation fails when we actually did put her through the accommodation process and provided accommodations. It's just I'm in way-out US of uh, where there are many baby-moos in the fields (oh cow reaching up to eat leaves from a tree - you made me happy as I drove to the hotel), and I am pretty sure this was the best job she would ever have in her life.
It's the easiest case I've ever had, or easiest on me in terms of case law, evidence, and witnesses. I just kinda feel bad for her.
I sat up last night and watched the local channel as a man appealed his abatement fines when the county came out and cleaned up his rental property. The owner was not brief, starting that he once lived in the property and married the woman across the street. He noted his immigrant tenants, loved them (like rumpT loves his workers?), and talked about how people from that country/area pile up trash when anyone puts trash by the street. I was fascinated by the little town politics in action - not sure why.
At least in this case I will be treating my "opponent" with respect. My last couple cases have involved liars and scoundrels - the usual abusers of the EEO process. This one is just MSPB and...she isn't lying for the most part. I just keep thinking she'll never do this good again.
