RA Denial with medical documentation

I previously was on a RA for conditions related to back issues and mental health. I have two doctors saying it’s a safety risk for me to drive and I can’t sit for prolonged periods of time due to my back condition, also it says I take medication impairing my ability to drive. However, based upon the recent guidance it appears they are cancelling my RA even with documentation from two doctors.How can I proceed from here to fight this? Note, our union agreement was just cancelled last week.If I refuse to RTO what will happen?Can a lawyer help fight this in the short and long term? If potentially they removed me for failure to comply?Is there going to be some type of long term class action lawsuit filed for these types of cases in the future?

Will submitting an FMLA request for burnout negatively impact my career?

Basically the title. Has anyone here taken FMLA for mental health/burnout as a federal employee? Did it negatively impact your career long term?I genuinely used to love my job before this administration, but I’ve been running on fumes for a long time now. My mental health has gotten progressively worse and I’m honestly at a point where I’m having some pretty dark thoughts and know I can’t keep functioning like this indefinitely.Part of me feels incredibly guilty even considering FMLA because I worry it’ll permanently change how leadership views me or hurt future opportunities/promotions. At the same time, I know I’m not doing well and probably need to prioritize getting healthy before I completely burn out.Would really appreciate any insight from people who’ve been through this.
