[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This job can be a virtual position, but that’s not a guarantee. To qualify for full time telework, you must be able to meet the production quota, which is not easy to do. When I worked at the Board, management forced dozens of my colleagues to resign in lieu of termination. The Board does mass hiring because management does mass firings. Don’t accept the position with the expectation of full time telework; otherwise, your career could end up in shambles like many of colleagues.[/quote]

Wait, attorneys apply to this job and then have to resign for performance issues? Why are people taking this kind of career risk? Are you on some sort of special pay scale?[/quote]

People take attorney jobs at the Board because these positions go up to GS-14 unlike other comparable jobs such as at SSA which only goes up to GS-12. When I worked at the Board, I met a lot of former SSA attorneys. Unfortunately, management forced a lot of them to resign. Some of my former colleagues now work as document reviewers; others now live with their parents or rely on their spouses.[/quote]
