To do de novo review of thousands of documents in each case?[/quote]

I used to work at the MSPB as a decision writer.  If I recall correctly, to get a good rating that would allow 3 days per week of telework, you need to do about one decision a week.  Some take far less than that, some take far more.  For the most part, it was not de novo review.  However, we were supposed to look through the entire paper record, including any transcripts.  If there was a hearing CD, we were not expected to listen to the entire thing, just relevant parts.

It wasn't an especially easy job to meet the production quota - some of the cases involved complicated issues  and multiple affirmative defenses.  Some of the issues (whistleblowing claims, affirmative defenses of discrimination) could get tricky.

No idea how BVA decisions compare.  To be honest, I realized that any job that was 100 percent decision writing was not right for me, and moved on to do something that involved more interaction with clients and outside parties.  [/quote]

Okay, so the management sympathizer above was comparing apples and oranges.  not surprising. [/quote]

Well, to be honest, comparing BVA decisions to MSPB decisions is like comparing apples and oranges. Just take a look at BVA and MSPB decisions and you’ll see the difference.[/quote]
