[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do people think will happen with RTO for attorneys who aren’t within 50 miles of DC or for those of us working remotely more than 50 miles of DC? Is remote work dead? If they’re going to increase the quota without union protections & with more rigorous check ins (the union has told us of these plans over the past few years so it’s not really speculation as they now have the opportunity) with the loss of remote work or having the get ready & commute back & forth everyday, potentially long distances — I don’t see how this will be sustainable for attorneys or judges, even for the quickest or the best. We’ll be commuting & working all day. If we can’t work from home, we’ll have to work unpaid overtime at the office. Completely unsustainable.[/quote]

The realistic and dispassionate prediction is that there will be waves of resignations as employees reach the limit of their tolerance for deteriorating working conditions.  That's what the highest level of leadership wants (they've been explicit about that).  I really don't think it's what local leadership wants.  We'll see who wins out in the next couple of months.

Be realistic. Where would BVA attorneys go after they resign? VA disability law isn’t exactly transferable to in demand legal specialties.[/quote]

LOL, I told one acquaintance I may be looking for a change and have had a few texts from local firms. Many of us had other careers before the Board (including, *gasp*, litigation!). Get real, troll.

Congrats on getting texts from SSA disability and VA disability law firms. I’m sure litigation before SSA ALJs and VA VLJs excites you.[/quote]

What's with the negativity? These guys make a good living if you pay attention to the attorney fee statements. The millionaires at Chisholm and Bergmann have the same currency in their bank accounts as an attorney who practices antitrust at DOJ. Only a loser wants to tell them their living is not good enough because it doesn't meet some lofty idea of what legal practice is.[/quote]

Chisholm is currently hiring an attorney if you want to join them. The salary starts at $80,000.[/quote]

Yes and after a few years there, many of them are promoted to supervising attorney or make partner. You can read the Chisholm website and see the names of the associates who became a partner.  Those people are making way more than $80k a year.[/quote]
