The term, “oxymoron” comes from the Greek, meaning “sharp dull” — a phrase or concept which embraces two or more contradictory terms. When was the last time that the combination of terms, “thoughtful” and “agency” made any sense?
Thus, it is a waste of one’s time to rant and get upset over an agency’s actions because of bad timing (i.e., to propose a removal during the holidays; to initiate a PIP on the day before Thanksgiving; to suspend a person without pay on a Federal employee’s birthday; and other such coinciding thoughtless encounters). It is fine to be upset for a moment because of the thoughtless actions of an agency; to continue to heave insults and focus upon the thoughtlessness, however, is a waste of one’s time, and ultimately misunderstands the role, intent and goal of an Agency.
The reason why “thoughtless” and “Agency” do not ultimately and technically comprise an oxymoron, is because inherent in the very definition of the entity identified as a Federal Agency or the U.S. Postal Service, is the idea that it is indeed a Hobbsian Leviathan which a singular purpose of “doing” something, whatever that “something” is.
In the administrative process of preparing, formulating and filing for Federal Disability Retirement benefits from the Office of Personnel Management, one should expect that one’s Agency, or the U.S. Postal Service, will engage in multiple thoughtless actions. That is the innate nature of a Federal agency, or the U.S. Postal Service. And, inasmuch as Federal Disability Retirement involves medical conditions, a sense that “empathy” and “sympathy” are called for — of a person’s career coming to an end; of an often progressively deteriorating medical condition, etc. — one would think that the agency would consider putting some thought into their actions. But that would be asking too much.
Federal Disability Retirement is an option which the agency sees as merely a problematic solution that needs to be dispensed with — yes, an oxymoron, but a truth, nonetheless.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Esquire

Hello,
I am a USPS employee who is being removed from service after standing up for my rights after being crushed by a forklift.
I still have trouble saying/writing that sentence.
I am a member of the nrpclassaction.com EEOC affirmed lawsuit, and a victim of the NRP tactics the EEOC confirmed in it’s decision. The decision is viewable at a link at the above website.
I would like to initiate a conversation with you to explore my options to fight this horrifically unjust action against me.
You may also reach me at XXX-XXX-XXXX here in Rochester NY
Sincerely,
Frank Loose
