Merit Appeals Board October 30, 2025 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MS. BOND: Well, doesn’t that refer to, like, the changes in Administrations? <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Then why don’t we say that—instead of “political priorities.” <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: And it’s more of a global, broad statement as far as things that can affect the <br />workforce—not—nothing specific. But I can, definitely, see where there might be a concern and <br />so re-wording of that is absolutely at the Board’s— <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: I’m just—it’s not critical of you and what you’ve done, ‘cause this is an <br />outstanding report. It’s the word “political” that, kind of, caught my eye. <br /> <br />MS. BOND: Yeah, ‘cause “political” is so “political” these days. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Yeah, it is—and then I don’t want the others to think that “Oh, is HR doing <br />something”—you’re not doing that. So, I don’t want that to be open to that kind of <br />interpretation. <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Yeah, understood. ‘Cause there’s no political influences as far as— <br /> <br />MS. BOND: (Inaudible.) <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Right. <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Yeah. So, “political influences” may affect the workforce in general but it’s <br />not affecting our work in HR. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Unless you take out “political” and just leave “priorities?” Or— <br /> <br />MR. THOMAS: Administrative? <br /> <br />MS. BOND: That’s the easiest way to do it. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: You could say “administrative.” <br /> <br />MS. BOND: Then you don’t have to— <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Yeah. <br /> <br />MS. BOND: If you don’t qualify it. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Or but then I don’t—I don’t know. I don’t feel we should single out the <br />Administration either. <br /> <br />Page 20 <br /> <br /> <br />
