I have people arriving in LAST YEAR now?
I understand back pay, I understand it very well, but our chart says Gone and the court sends back a chart saying Previously Here. This is why I like a big red marker. Everybody sees what I did, then a judge comes along with a different color and we have an Art Department!
The remedy will be recorded against the relevant period. Markers are not an accounting method.
I want the savings number checked. The old one had a very nice look.
And keep the Family Tree out of the organization chart. Apparently I have enough trouble with both kinds of trees today.
PUBLIC RECORD
On October 26, Judge Jesse Furman found Maurene Comey's July 2025 firing unlawful and ordered retroactive reinstatement through December 2025 for back pay and retirement eligibility. She alleged political retaliation based on her father. DOJ disputed the ruling and said it would appeal. Reuters reported that an unresolved claim prevented an immediate appeal. This remedy does not establish that she is returning to work now.
