[quote=Anonymous]I work in a federal government office. I'm a team leader for my section and I lead about 9 people who are all considered to be at the same GS level. My official duties on paper are not the same so it is essentially an increase of duties compared to the other specialists on my team. I've had issue with 2 co-workers as they felt passed over when I took the position. It was a new position so we all applied through USAJOBS and interviewed as any new federal position.

Well I'm leaving soon for a 6 month detail to another office within our agency. I recommended to the supervisor that my position stay vacant because we are not fully manned and have a few new employees. My duties should be spread out amongst the team to give each person increased responsibilities and still get their job done without any added pressure at her level.  Well one of the team members who has been particularly critical of my position has now asked to be detailed to my team lead position while I'm out of the office. The supervisor is pretty much a lump of skin and doesn't care to manage the section properly (not just opinion, it's fact). Said supervisor asked me my opinion (after I had already made my recommendation) yesterday. There's been an unwritten rule to limit the number of details to 1 per section, which is why I'm finally now leaving for a detail. The team member who asked is known to be someone who only likes to do the high-visibility work and leaves the day-to-day tasks to fall by the wayside. It puzzles me that a manager would consider placing additional duties on someone who isn't a stellar performer.

Anyone have a thought on this? My concern now is coming back to my job that's been half-a**ed. I believe my supervisor's supervisor may overrule handing my position over to 1 person. If so, it would then be offered to our entire office for interviews and divided amongst the qualified ones. Wow, that made my skin crawl to even type that...not so much an 'it's mine' issue, moreso that I don't care to get my job back after everyone's had a finger in it.  [/quote]
