Fers Disability question and atty suggestion.

Two questions: Do all the major law firms charge a large upfront fee? Any do fee agreement based on winning? In past 5 years I’ve had 6-8 surgeries with last three addressing a rare rib fracture issue. I’m having difficulty with my breathing and my job requires speaking all day. My manager states they will work with me to do more desk work and teleclaims/phone answering and face to face interaction. They don’t want to for a formal accommodation request and just handle it in house. I’m concerned if I don’t improve that I won’t be able to continue and the verbal agreement we have will mean nothing if I were to file for disability later. What do you all recommend ? Thanks for any help

Hegseth: "Everyone must be killed". Adm. Bradley obeys an apparently illegal order.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.There were two survivors clinging to the burning wreckage of the boat. So our lovely military killed them.Remember, it is treason/insurrection to even suggest that illegal orders might be given. /sSee also: https://slguardian.org/u-s-war-secretary-orders-to-kill-them-all-in-caribbean-suspected-drug-cartel-strikes/(Okay.

MHBP drug coverage and cost question

I am one of the many people flirting with switching from BCBS to MHBP (standard specifically). I am very fortunate to be healthy and not really require much medical outside of my annual check ups. The only medication I use regularly is tretinoin for acne. I see it is listed in the formulary as a medication covered, but it notes that it is one that may have restrictions/require pre authorization. Curious if anyone on MHBP standard has had any issues with getting tretinoin covered and what the cost was. TIA

(Private) Long Term Care Insurance Recommendations, since FLTCIP is still suspended

So, I am considering purchasing long-term care insurance, and received some quotes via a broker who deals with multiple insurance agencies. The rates didn't seem bad, but I don't really have anything to compare it to. If I could enroll in FLTCIP, I would, but it's suspended.I do know that some carriers cater to specific professions, e.g. health-care workers. Does anyone have private LTC insurance, and if so, do you think it was a good choice? And does anyone know if there is a particular insurer who offers particularly low rates for feds?

Has anyone resolved issues where a supervisor pressures you to bypass mandatory requirements?

I am a subject matter expert in my technical area. I am looking for advice from others who have dealt with a supervisor pressuring them to set aside mandatory requirements. This could include code or legal obligations, safety standards, or agency policy.In my situation, my supervisor sometimes urges me in front of others to treat required provisions as optional to meet schedule or operational goals. I have never been forced to violate anything, and I have always refused, but the pressure itself puts me in a difficult position. I am responsible for compliance, yet I am expected, in these situations, to present the work to stakeholders as fully compliant even when it's not. I also seem to be the only one who pushes back, since others in my group are generally willing to bend the rules to keep the project moving and they back him up when I push back.I am considering speaking with HR to ask for guidance on how to navigate conflicting direction that involves legal and code requirements. So I want to understand how HR typically handles situations like this, and whether elevating concerns about pressure (not actual violations) has helped anyone resolve the issue without retaliation or negative fallout.If you have experience with this kind of situation, did taking it to HR help? Did they take the compliance aspect seriously? Or did you find that you needed to involve ethics, IG, or another channel instead?

Is there OPM guidance on what kind of leave to use when your office is closed on days that aren't federal holidays?

I'm work in a public facing facility and my workplace is open Monday-Saturday. We have three days a year where we are closed for long holiday weekends when other offices wouldn't be closed. For instance, for Thanksgiving, we are closed Thursday Friday and Saturday, same for Christmas and New Year's. We have to use our own leave on the Friday after the holiday. I have asked if I can just come in and work on those days because my position is more behind the scenes, so I have plenty of things I can work on. However, I was told that wasn't possible and that we either have to use our own leave or LWOP. Is this correct? I can't find anything in OPM that addresses this, but I could be looking in the wrong place.
