Reply Meeting; aFarce

I have been to two reply meetings, both times represented by my lawyer. The suspensions proposed obviously had no merit, they were simply stories made up by the racist Hispanic director of the office.
The deciding official was the supervisor of the proposing official. He did not care what the facts showed. He was going to support the director no matter what evidence was produced. In one case he was supposed to contact witnesses who would refute the alleged actions specified in the proposal. He never did follow up. How many times has the deciding official decided not to issue the proposed adverse action? I don't believe it has ever happened at HUD.
I filed complaints with the EEOC regarding both adverse actions. The Administrative Judge required the agency to expunge both suspensions as they had no merit. He noted that the manager "had a retaliatory animus toward the Complainant."
What happened to the manager who lied repeatedly both in her affidavit and at trial? NOTHING!

Kabuki theatre is known for the stylization of its drama and for the elaborate make-up worn by some of its performers. Same can be said of Reply Meetings.

Let's create an elaborate process to ensure that management gives the appearance of wise and independent decision-making when the outcome was previously decided.
