There are at least two meanings to the phrase; one can be considered as a declarative sentence, complete in itself; the other, a prefatory remark, unfinished and incomplete.
Yet, perhaps both are correlative in their meanings, and essentially state the same thing. For, one can witness a violation of human dignity and declare, “Not Just!” That would be one sense. Or, a person can lament the incompleteness of describing one’s personhood, as in: “I am not just X, but also A, B and C” — or, more particularly, for someone to be seen only as a plumber, a teacher, a student, a child, etc., without regard to the greater complexity and inner psychological intricacies that make up the whole person.
But, perhaps, the two meanings merely complement each other: It is not just to just consider a person in a one-dimensional manner.
For Federal employees and U.S. Postal workers who suffer from a medical condition such that the medical condition begins to prevent the Federal or Postal worker from performing one or more of the essential elements of one’s Federal or Postal job, the danger is that the Federal or Postal worker begins to become characterized more and more as “just” that individual who isn’t capable of doing his or her job, anymore.
People judge others quickly and harshly; there is rarely any nuance to the judgment. Either you are good or bad; proficient or not; part of the agency’s “team”, or an outsider. And when a medical condition hits, you are “just X”.
Contact a disability lawyer who specializes in FERS Disability Retirement Law and begin the process of preparing, formulating and filing an effective Federal Disability Retirement case so that you become not just another casualty in the heartless world of a bureaucratic morass, but a person not just defined by your medical condition.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Lawyer
