[quote=Anonymous]Trademark Examiner back.  Like in any organization, you may work for an a-hole.  For the bulk of my career , I was rated outstanding.  I had a couple of years where I worked for an a-hole and had a couple of bad years.  That law office bled people like crazy. I got out about 2 years ago.  I’m now in a different law office with a different manager and life is grand.

The performance plan has varied over the years but I’ve never found it all that difficult to make the numbers.  Every so often when I’ve had a week with school stuff, kid doctor appointments, and other random stuff that takes me away from my desk, I will put in time on the weekend.  My family schedule and my own circadian rhythms keep me from working after dinner or after my sn goes to bed.

Here is a bit of office culture.  My law office meets weekly via teams to discuss difficult cases and bounce ideas off each other.  It is helpful and collaborative.  Everyone who meets the requirements for getting promoted to the next GS level as outlined in the performance plan will get promoted.  There is no competition among each other for a limited number of slots.  Everyone is willing to take a look at the case you are working on and give an opinion.  It is a nice environment.

FTR, I’m on leave until the end of the year.  I made my numbers and I’m now getting ready for the holidays and going on vacation with my family.  I’m on my iPad, just so nobody can come in here accusing me of taking advantage of WAH.
