[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone know how step promotions work at the Board? Do attorneys max out at GS-14 step 1, for example, or now potentially GS-13 step 1, or are step increases given as a promotion after meeting the yearly quota and maxing out at the GS level. If so, how many steps do they typically give out yearly? Weird that management treats attorneys so poorly. I’m sure the same amount of work can be done by doing everything they can to keep attorneys happy.[/quote]

The management strategy is incredibly stupid and would not be tolerated in a for profit environment.  By treating everyone so poorly, you are encouraging people to run for the exits.  The massive frequent turnover must cost an enormous amount of money, in addition to lost institutional knowledge. Normal turnover happens in every organization.  But, in addition to the large number of staff attorneys who have left, in the last few years, some high level staff have left due to the poor work environment.  We have also lost judges due to the work environment.  If you want a case study in how to run an organization into the ground and burn through massive amounts of money, the BVA is a great example.
