> Schedule A, a special authority that allows government managers to “hire persons with disabilities This is misleading: Schedule A(u) is for disabilities. Schedule A(r) is for short term appointments with a cap of a few years. I believe they are simply using short term positions. https://handbook.tts.gsa.gov/hiring-staying-or-changing-jobs/hiring-authorities/ https://handbook.tts.gsa.gov/hiring-staying-or-changing-jobs... I believe schedule A refers to a whole set of options to forgoe the standard job posting and interview process, where disability is only one such exemption. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-5/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-213/subpart-C/subject-group-ECFR2a2db745208d125/section-213.3102 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-5/chapter-I/subchapter-B/...

Your link says that A(r) still requires posting the jobs officially, though. It certainly seems like they skipped that. Also, the director lied.

  The article implies they lied about having disabilities which is not true. This carries more weight than failure to post a job properly.

    I'm saying that they may still have done exactly that. If they were using A(r), they would have posted the job.

      The choices to accomplish this goal are a) use a temporary employment justification b) lie about having a disability Why would they do b) when a) is true and carries no risk? You’re not being reasonable.

        They either need to lie about posting the job officially or lie about having a disability. Why do you think one lie is more reasonable than the other? In truth, I think getting an unscrupulous doctor to declare they all have ADHD or autism is probably their simplest option, if they’re at all trying to keep up appearances of doing things by the book (and they are, otherwise why bother with this Schedule A stuff at all?)
