The MSPB rarely votes for the complainant. How do you think all the vets get screwed when they file complaints about vets preference laws, etc. The MSPB prides itself on taking care of the government; not the employee (or former one). Scan through their rulings on the Web and you will see what I mean. The whole system is a scam from start to finish.

I have been following this since the original posting years ago. I always find it disturbing that the government (in this case the MSPB) apparently has an undetermined amount of time to respond, yet an employee (in this case Ms. Chambers) has a set amount of time to accomplish filings and dates. The government simply can keep spending taxpayers' money to draw out the case until the employee can no longer afford to go on with the case. They also can change the venue to another remote location which causes an additional expense which the employee can't afford.
In reading Ms. Fajardo's deposition, it indicates Mr. Murphy, when asked about Ms. Chambers' work, only responded "she's doing fine." Mr. Murphy's comment is not an adequate response to be given to Ms. Fajardo who is required to write a performance evaluation. I hope the attorney for Ms. Chambers makes inquiries to the Park Service IM department concerning where Ms. Chamber's computer is, how it came to be removed and whether the computer hard drive was cleansed prior to disposal (if disposed of). It is clear that depositions of other office personnel are needed. This is so typical of government dealings -- cover up and mistreatment of whistleblowers.
