I have been missing a lot of work since September due to health issues. A coworker came to me in mid-September and told me there was mold gathering on some equipment that we were working on and had sent samples to a mold specialist. The tests had come back positive for several different types. I explained to my foreman that I wanted to be moved outside, and that was not an issue. Should I be allowed back pay for the hours I missed?

Hello, my wife and I have been separated since January 2025. Over the summer of last year months after separation she became pregnant.

I (48/f) am the primary earner in my house. My husband gets some income from the Veterans Administration. We are at a point where we have irreconcilable differences.

Workplace Concerns – Observed Behaviors and Impacts I take pride in approaching my work with professionalism, resilience, and humor—even in challenging environments. My role at DCSA has offered the rare benefit of a six-minute commute and a strong work/life balance, which I deeply value. I enjoy contributing to mission success and supporting colleagues where I can. However, despite my commitment and efforts, I believe my work is being actively undermined, my credibility subtly challenged, and opportunities to support others—and the organization—have been systematically withheld. Over time, I’ve observed a pattern of exclusion, manipulation of narrative, and selective communication that has eroded trust, impacted morale, and created a culture of fear and favoritism. Attempts to contribute to critical budget development and internal process improvements have been met with obstruction or redirection—often in ways that appear designed to discredit my efforts or shift responsibility unfairly. In multiple instances, I have been cut out of meetings, misrepresented in discussions, and excluded from acknowledgments while witnessing clear displays of preferential treatment and personal alliances. Despite these challenges, I remain focused on performing with integrity. My goal is not to escalate drama but to ensure that DCSA’s mission is supported by a healthy, inclusive, and accountable work environment. I am hopeful that my experience and concerns can contribute to a broader conversation about workplace culture, transparency, and the equitable advancement of talent across the agency.

What can a person do who knows they are on a federal watchlist to try and get their life back?

I found out in May that my husband met up with someone to get his penis sucked. This isn’t the first time that I felt he was being untrue. I told him I would give it until November to see if anything changed. It got worse because he used my insecurities to get me to have men watch us have sex and even had me suck our close friend's dick. He gets drunk and starts fights in front of our 5-year-old, so I left him about 3 weeks ago. I saw my son during the first week, but he got violent and I didn’t want to cause more problems for my son. As well as I have been working on getting my own place to have my son come to. There is so much more, but I need help now. He has filed something with the court, which he has used as leverage to keep me from my son. Please someone advise me on what I can do.

My Mom lived in West Virginia. She passed away a few weeks ago and left a will. She left her property to me through a Transfer on Death deed. She left $1,000 to my sister and everything else to me. Her car is paid off. How do I go about making sure the car goes to her boyfriend since he helped pay the payments on it and needs it since it’s the only one they had? She also had another property that she sold to my cousin but never transferred the deed before she died. I don’t know how to make sure her boyfriend gets the car and my cousin gets the property when her estate goes through probate. She owed about $12,000 in credit card debt and I don’t know how much in medical bills. She had Medicaid and Medicare.
