[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the quota - how many decisions per day/month?
Job posting says not a virtual position - what are the chances of working from home?
Is the quota doable for an experienced atty (former big law)?
How many hours do most realistically have to work to meet quota?
I’m considering applying, currently with another agency on temp appt., had quotas the entire time.
My NTE will be ending soon. I’m sure I can get a “better” job, but I do not enjoy practicing law.
I’m simply looking for another Fed position (must allow telework) with a steady paycheck and health insurance.
How quickly do they start terminating ppl - one, three, six months?
If I know I’m not meeting my quota, I would just quit before being terminated.
And, are they always hiring the entire time the posting is listed, or do they hire a large number of ppl only after terminating current e/ees?
Trying to determine whether to apply after I exhaust my UI when my NTE ends?
Is it really THAT bad as some of the previous posts suggest?? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Read through the thread.  you will find that the specifics of how much you will need to work will depend on you as an individual, your experience, and most importantly, your judge.  [/quote]

How you interact with your judge will determine whether it's a terrible or wonderful experience.  Some judges demand law-review quality work on every case, and there's no way you'll meet the quota with such a judge without investing 10-30 extra hours/week, unpaid of course.  
On the other hand, some judges just want short and sweet decisions (denials as well as grants), and meeting quota in a 40-hour week is easy.  It's really just luck of the draw.  The problem is, management knows some judges are monsters, but they do absolutely nothing about them.  A supervisor will NEVER back up an attorney over a judge, and supervisors really don't care if a judge is abusive.  They'll just tell you to quit and make room for the next trainee.  Judges are almost never fired and rarely, if ever, disciplined.  Attorneys are completely at their mercy.  [/quote]
