This is a throwaway account.

I work for the federal government. I believe my manager discriminated against me in my performance review so I filed an EEO complaint. You used to be able to make a case with facts, and if the agency agreed, your manager would revise the performance review.

However, after the President signed 2018 Executive Order 13839, Agencies now say they are not allowed to modify performance reviews - even if there was discrimination. (It's in Section 5).

I'm know the President did not mean for this to happen. It's not through Congress, it's through the White House. How can we change it? Do you think we need to get the President's attention?

Thanks.

Link to Executive Order, look at Section 5: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-promoting-accountability-streamlining-removal-procedures-consistent-merit-system-principles/?fbclid=IwAR34O1WCZCyuN18VREdCzjuJsKRb0VGy--EdTNSsRmqRwejtEkLjNnuJdbU
