Our client received a proposed 14-day suspension for conduct unbecoming after he allegedly made lewd comments and told off-color jokes to a group of colleagues and shared inappropriate images.

Based on our arguments, the deciding official reduced the proposed penalty to a five-day suspension, which was the lowest penalty recommended by the agency’s table of penalties.
