[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How often are drafting attorneys re-assigned to new VLJs? If somebody isn't quitting, and the VLJ isn't retiring, do they just stay together until somebody leaves?[/quote]

There are occasions when attorneys and VLJs stay on the same team for several years.  I know of some who have been with the same VLJ 6-8 years but its more common to be moved around (involuntarily) when there is a new VLJ promoted, or if an attorney applies for a detail, or just in a general shuffle that management decides is best.  At the end of the day you don't really get a choice.  You go where they tell you to go, or you can quit.  [/quote]

I love the periodic reminders from management about how lucky we are to have an attorney job at the Board. Management seems to think that without the Board, we would be either be unemployed or doing doc review.[/quote]

That's how they manage.  Intimidation, half truths and mental abuse.  [/quote]

I’ve never seen a reminder like this.  [/quote]

It’s subtle passive aggressive reminders, such as saying things could be worse or encouraging people to leave and do doc review if they don’t like it at the Board. You probably didn’t notice.[/quote]

I am sorry, but is this the troll?. I have never seen a message at the Board saying to do doc review if you don't like your job.  i have also  never seen any email message telling attorneys that they should be happy with the way they are treated. This is complete garbage.[/quote]

I have never seen anything like this either in multiple years at the Board. It's just a troll.[/quote]

Yet another case of people with nice and supportive judges and managers discounting the experiences of those with toxic ones.[/quote]cataloger.

No one is saying there are not some toxic people.  But no one ever told me to work as a contract attorney if I did not like my job.  [/quote]
