[quote=Anonymous][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.

It sounds like you're at SSA or HHS DAB. Your friends probably don't want to move to SSA or DAB because the decision writer jobs over there only go up to GS-12. Attorney positions at the Board go up to GS-14. Most people don't want to move to SSA or DAB once they reach the GS-14 level, as they would need to downgrade to a GS-12 level. With regard to the quota, while the Board has not historically taken into account leave, holidays, general office admin work etc., this has not been the case since FY17. The Board does indeed subtract leave, holidays, general office admin work etc. from the quota. But, even the prorated quota is still much too high for most attorneys to complete within a 40 hour work week, hence the reason why many Board attorneys work unpaid overtime.[/quote]

I see.  No, I am not at either of those agencies and I am a GS-14.  Our positions are a GS-14 ladder.  Our area of law is fairly complex, and the amount of days you can telework depends on the number of decisions you produce.[/quote]
