[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes, the experience is night and day different depending on who you work for. Also, it is true that some people are very good at the job. It is perfect for a very specific type of person. That is not the norm. Most people struggle and hate it. So, either your friends are really well suited for the job and are doing fine or they work for really awesome people, or both.

Upper management at the Board is rotten to the core and routinely plays games with employees. However, there are a few good GS-15 supervisors and judges at the Board who try to make their employees’ lives easier. The attorneys under them generally find the job to be tolerable. But, even these employees face the constant threat of termination due to the high production standard.[/quote]

I understand.  However, I have been trying to get my two friends (casual friends) to consider applying to my agency for years as writing attorney positions come available, and they won't consider a move.  We also have telework and a production system that is high, but we get time subtracted from the quota for leave, holidays, general office admin work etc.  They won't consider a move, so something about the job must be right for them.[/quote]

It’s probably the Board’s liberal telework policy that is keeping them there.[/quote]

Yep. No office space means basically everyone can work from home after the first year. [/quote]

But, until that first year is over, new Board attorneys will have to work on the second floor in a former storage room turned into a call center like open workspace filled with rows and rows of attorneys.[/quote]
