What is the name of your state? TEXAS
Looking for some insight. I requested two weeks of sick leave (paid leave) prior to the birth of my child. I also requested 4 weeks of sick leave from "birthdate" forward. The sick leave PRIOR was denied by my management on the basis that "just a pregnancy" is not sufficient justification alone. This denial was in email from the manager who denied it.
I want to play the "company man" and obtain additional guidance from OPM which I can politely present and thus justify my position. On the other hand I am growing weary of the bullying by this manager, who has no respect agency-wide and is known as an idiot.
I work for the federal government, with over 10 years of service.
Next step?
