@attyforfederalemployees: 🚨 Federal Employees: Don’t Let These Common Mistakes Cost You Your Career 🚨 With all the changes happening right now, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. As a federal employment attorney, I’ve seen what works—and what doesn’t—when the pressure is on. These are my top tips to protect your career: ✅ Obey Orders, Protest Later: Refusing an order can lead to a misconduct charge, even if the order is wrong. Follow it, document it, and challenge it later. ✅ Use the Word ‘Prefer’: Saying “I prefer not to sign this until I talk to an attorney” puts the ball in their court without escalating the situation. ✅ Acknowledge, Don’t Agree: If you’re asked to sign something, write “acknowledge receipt only” to protect yourself from being seen as agreeing to something you don’t. ✅ Document Everything: Keep records of conversations, emails, and any questionable orders—it’s your best defense. ✅ Stay Calm with the Grayrock Technique: If emotions are running high, stay neutral, detached, and focused. Agencies want you to react—don’t give them that win. 💡 These are the mistakes I see employees make every day, and they’re avoidable. Protect your career, your rights, and your future. 💪 Follow me for more tips on navigating the challenges federal employees are facing right now. Together, we’ve got this. #FederalEmployees #EmploymentLaw #ProtectYourCareer #SouthworthPC #KnowYourRights #Grayrock #DocumentEverything
