[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the union can’t do anything to help probationary employees then? That’s unfortunate.

Most of the people I knew of over the years who were “fired” were actually bullied into quitting because management told them that if they were fired from the Board they would never get another federal job. [/quote]

That’s true. The Board rarely fires attorneys. Disfavored attorneys have their worked nitpicked and criticized until they give up and quit.[/quote]

The do fire attorneys who fail on a PIP.[/quote]

To clarify, the Board does fire people. However, the Board would much rather bully someone into resigning. Most of the time, the attorney gets the hint and resigns. [/quote]

No attorney should resign if they can do the work and pass a PIP. [/quote]

I know attorneys who received great performance reviews for years, but after they were reassigned to toxic judges, they were bullied out of their jobs. Whether an attorney succeeds at the Board or not is largely dependent on the personality of his or her judge.[/quote]

If these toxic judges have 6-8 attorneys in their group, how do the others manage to survive? Or do toxic judges bleed out attorneys annually? Any anecdotes about the turnover with some judges?[/quote]

basically when there is a bad judge everyone is miserable.  They may barely make quota, or some may not, but wither way they hate it and want to leave the instant they can.  [/quote]
