DOT reduced proposed suspension

A federal employee retained us after she received a proposed 14-day suspension for alleged careless work performance and improper conduct.  She had a stellar performance record with no history of discipline.  However, our client had recently filed an EEO complaint because the agency failed to provide reasonable accommodations.  We submitted a written response to the proposed suspension, arguing that the agency was retaliating against our client for filing an EEO complaint.  The agency reduced the penalty from a 14-day suspension to an admonishment.
