[quote=Anonymous]I was in this exact situation. Not only did she game the system she also got others to do it - and was very very successful.

This individual also claimed she could not do the commute to the office due to her "condition" but had no problem going on cruise vacations, swimming with stingrays, babysitting grandchildren, tent camping with family and most importantly, running an on-line business out of her home during work hours.

What eventually happened is she proved to be such a role model that two other employees got notes from their respective "Dr. Quacks" saying they had some sort of condition and needed to work from home full time.  No details on condition or what was needed to accommodate them - just that they "needed to work from home full-time as a reasonable accommodation."

Then, following the instigator's guidance, they all were unavailable by phone, all had repeated and regular "connectivity problems" so couldn't answer e-mail nor submit work projects (despite Help Desk finding no reason for these repeated problems) AND literally went silent for several days per week.  Three of them.

This went on for more than two years.  Guess who wound up doing the work of three GS-13s?  Yes, all the rest of the team.

One of them was a gentleman farmer who spent his days out in his barn and fields working with his animals.  Yet he did not answer the phone when we called, did not respond to emails nor did he submit projects.  And was pissed as hell when we finally got him on the phone one day, telling us we interrupted him tending to one of his animals.

Another had a husband who had his own medical practice and she spent her days doing his books, making appointments for him, and had the gall to tell others in the office she was doing it.

After repeatedly dealing with the incompetent HR director who claimed that anyone with a RA was completely "hands off" (and was also friends with the instigator) the three of them were encouraged to file EEO complaints against me because I insisted there had to be a way to get these three GS-13s to actually perform their duties.  That was considered discriminatory and harassment.

Guess who was shoved into early retirement?  And guess who went on "teleworking" for the next couple of years?

I wonder what the statute of limitations is for these kinds of crimes, as it constitutes defrauding the government of hundreds of thousands of dollars in wages. American taxpayers should recoup every dime of their salaries. [/quote]
