[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A rebellion is brewing at the Board. This time from the judges. They're accusing the Chairman of mismanaging the Board to such an extent that its severely harming military veterans.

Hard to feel too much sorrow for the VLJs here.  They've got a point, but attorneys have been working under such a quota system for nearly 20 years now.  Many (though not all) VLJs were unsympathetic to attorney concerns and didn't push back against management's attempts to increase the quota back then.  Now they're feeling the same pressure?  Welcome to unpaid overtime, just like attorneys have been doing for years and years.  Or they could go back to being decision-drafting attorneys, if being a VLJ is too hard.  [/quote]

The VLJs at least interact with the veterans unlike the attorney layabouts copy pasting approvals in their ice cream stained beaters. Their complaints will be taken seriously.[/quote]

BVA attorneys aren't layabouts. They're hardworking people who copy and paste very important boilerplate language into three form decisions a week. Their jobs are so vital to the American people that during the Dec. 2018 to Jan. 2019 government shutdown, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) designated BVA attorneys as "essential workers." The entire cadre of BVA attorneys worked nonstop during the shutdown alongside other VA essential workers, such as VA police and maintenance workers, to serve the American people.[/quote]
