See 5 U.S.C. §§ 2301 (b)(7) (1982) (employees should receive effective training). 2302(b)(4) (1982) (supervisor may not willfully obstruct employee’s right to compete for employment), 2302(b)(ll) (1982) (supervisor may not take any action violating any of the merit systems principles of § 2301) and 7513 (1982) (dismissal only for cause). sfc * * Hí sfc % Lehman failed to pursue her administrative remedies under the C.S.R.A. That statute provides Lehman’s sole recourse.”
