[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone heard much about new Judges being hired?  I can't make sense of what is going on.  Some people are mad that's all I've really heard.  Is there any more information?[/quote]

BVA attorney here. They hired many new judges from outside of the agency so it was a real morale killer for BVA people who want to be judges. I don’t write for any of the new judges and I don’t know anyone who does so I haven’t heard whether they are ok to work for. My guess is management wanted new blood and it’s a slap in the face to many senior attorneys who would make great judges.

Also the person who said the quota is going up to 3.5 cases a week is a liar. The quota hasn’t changed. The board is not the best place to work and management sucks. But some of the people on this thread are just making things up. [/quote]

The discussion that you referenced regarding the quota occurred back in August 2021, shortly after Board management announced that the Board-wide quota would increase from 91,500 cases to 111,500 cases a year. People on this forum speculated as to whether the quota would increase to 3.5 cases to meet the increased Board-wide quota. Though management did not ultimately increase the quota, the discussion on DCUM about the quota was certainly valid given that the union at the Board (AFGE) had expressed the same concerns about quota for FY2022. Please don't infer bad faith when there is no evidence of such (i.e., calling people liars).
