One of the stupider DUmmies has it all figured out:

I worked for the FEDS in the 90s....McCabe is using his accumulated leave to exit earlier than planned. I had a boss who, when he retired... had 9 years of sick leave and 11 years of vacation leave...he opted to get paid for it. This guy is using the leave to exit earlier than planned. Got it?
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210157353So let's do some math here:
Maximum sick leave accumulation rate for a federal employee is 4 hours a pay period, applying to all full-time employees, which comes out to 104 hours per year.
Maximum annual leave accumulation rate for a federal employee is 8 hours per pay period, after 15 years of service, which comes out to 208 hours per year.
9 years of sick leave would be (9 x 2080 hours) = 18,720 hours. At a rate of accumulation of 104 hours per year, it would take 180 years to accumulate that many hours.
11 years of annual leave would be (11 x 2080 hours) = 22,880 hours. At a rate of accumulation of 208 hours per year, it would take 110 years to accumulate that many hours.
Now her 200 year old boss may have taken a vacation here and there. And he did have to work 15 years before he max'ed out his annual leave. So maybe her numbers make sense and her claim is legitimate. Or maybe she's dumber than a bag of hammers and thinks making up shit is almost as good as actually having a clue what she is talking about.
