Two Federal Bureau of Prisons employees who reported alleged mismanagement and misconduct suffered retaliation, according to the Washington Post.
Linda Thomas, a field administrator based in Chicago accused her manager of “an inappropriate attempt to move the staff to a complex closer to the supervisor’s suburban home.” She also said the manager received excessive pay after taking a voluntary demotion.
After that, Thomas learned she was to be moved from her office to a converted jail cell. The Office of Special Counsel intervened and halted the move.
The second case involved a Bureau of Prisons employee named Julia Landucci, in Minnesota. After reporting alleged mismanagement and misconduct within the bureau’s substance-abuse program she was moved to a much smaller office, referred for mental health exam and denied an educational reimbursement, according to the Post.
