I understand that Social Security has indefinitely suspended advanced leave. This is advanced leave, not advance leave. It’s leave granted in excess of what has already been earned that is to be made up later. Let’s say you have worked at the agency for a few years and are injured in a car wreck. You need to be out of work longer than the amount of sick and annual leave you’ve earned so far. I guess you now have to go on leave without pay rather than being advanced some leave to help you over a rough stretch. This directive doesn’t put some limit on advanced leave. It just summarily ends it. Of course, there was no negotiation with the employee unions over this. I’m sure they’ll sue.

Don't get cancer or have a baby, says the pro-family party.
They are going to train people (not as well as they could, but still an investment of resources) and then lose them over this. What a waste.
Hi Frank,
The tone of the email you forced HR to send out was unnecessarily heartless. Also, these pretzels are making me thirsty!!
Looking forward to Frank getting the Rudy Giuliani treatment once Trump is out.
Just to give you an idea how bad it is at the TSC. They took away our alternative work schedules where we could work an hour more to have a day off every two weeks. They took away our telework. They took away our flextime where we could arrive within a half hour. They took away our ability to earn credit where we could work more to get more leave. Then this comes down. Due to lack of telework which some people were hired during the pandemic being told it was a telework job, people are now having to take more time off becuase of it. If you have child care issues due to lack of telework and you have a longer commute you might take more time off. Now this comes down. Situations happen. Some people have chronic issues and now RAs are harder to get. Bereavement if unexpected happenned falls under this if you don’t have enough time. Sometimes when it rains it pours. TSC employees have low morale (imho) and this is just a kick in the gut. We already lost a lot of people due to everything and they just keep telling us that its because of public need.
