| The Best Date to Retire in 2011 | Many people are curious about the best day to retire in 2011. Well, the best day to retire in 2011 is the same as it was in 2010; that is December 31st. This is especially important for those who are planning on receiving a large annual leave payment, as the leave year ends on December 31, 2011 and anyone who retires after that date will lose any excess use-or-lose leave they have accrued.

I am a Federal Employee at VA hospital and I have subjected to bullying, hostile work place, discrimination based on race and disability also retaliation for prior EEo activity.The powers that be have not stepped up to the plate to try to correct the situation and as a result I havew to see EAP often!!! My supervisor's supervisor protects her and all the way up the line. As a result of this I now have a NEW EEO complaint going forwqard. If you are being bullied then don't just accept it, stand up and fight for your rights by filing whatever is necessary to stop them up to a formal EEO complaint. Work place bullying will not stop if we don't fight to make it stop and get these bullies removed from government service.
