Some additional information:
it seems that former Gotcha Squad attorney Jeffrey Gamils, the lawyer who prosecuted Christine Rubino,( see here as well) is now a Field Supervisor who goes from school to school to observe ATRs.

it seems that "C" rating is being given to ATRs who have taken days for medical/family issues; no one really knows what a "C" rating means...

You da'man!
Can these people do anything right?
Check tomorrow and see if it has been changed.
Interestingly, I was observed earler this year by a field supervisor. Fortunately, I received a satisfatory observation, yet when I went to my DOE email, I hadn't recieved any link or any email about my rating. I ask, When will I receive my rating ? Also, I hope that it is the correct rating sheet. In fact, I am currently on the phone with HR Connect. They said that I will have to wait 20 minutes before anyone can serve me.
