That's wild. If the disability is permanent, he should only need one note that says that.

Social Security says my disability isn't permanent and insists on revisiting the same stuff every 2 years. Oh, and if you live in Texas, the state of Arkansas does disability determinations for federal Social Security.
His disability prevented him from being able to go into the office, but he could EASILY do all of his work from home. They wanted him to get a doctors note EACH and EVERY day he could not make it in to work at the office. WTF if he cant make it into work, what makes you think he can get a doctors note.
He filed with his union, turns out NASA has a union, who knew. They started the process but ten he found himself a different job, one that actually cared.
Sad that he had to go and change jobs. The new group has him working completely remote.
Irony is NASA just had an event about awareness for disability, what a joke (see article https://redstonerocket-al.newsmemory.com?selDate=20241106&go...) He tried working through his manager, his managers manager, and the Equal Opportunity Office. Talk about 3 people who are clearly promoted above their skill level.
TL;DR friend of a friend just found another job.
