OK heres what goes down.. you show up 1 hour before your scheduled hearing. do not park in the spots that are numbered, there are visitor parking spots.
if you get there early in the am, the employees will be going thru the triple layer of security.. you put your stuff thru a scanner, get question by a few _rent a cops, and are told where to go.. you are basically " handled " from the moment you arrive, until you leave.. There shant be any b/ TOUR DE RO".. You can go to the cafeteria, or the crapper, and nowhere else unless directed.. You are permitted to bring notebooks and laptops, and they record serial numbers in and out, so you dont walk out with the wrong laptop.. mainly one of theirs..
The demeanor of the employees seem very casual, and lackidaisical, towards each other, lots of smoking and joking in the parkinglot, and hobnobbing in the cubicles.. No big sense of urgency was sensed.
As I sat waiting, bored and very sleepy, I spotted the honorable sec Mc Donald pic on a wall in the lobby and thought to myself,, wouldnt it be fun to start a rumor that the SEC was making a visit today.. I was just curious to see if the subject matters being discussed would change from last nights basketball game and LeBrons frustrating night, to the passionate quest to end the backlog and gets some claims done..
My better judgment took over, and sat silent and kept observing the goings on.. Employees seem to trickle in at different times. and everyone was quite friendly to one another..
So finally Im summoned to the hearing room. Just a small room,. very well lit., with microphones and recording devices/
I am administed an oath to tell the truth and then told why I am there. The hearing goes quite smooth and non adversarial, and the RSVR takes short hand notes on a legal pad. I feel like I had ample opportunity to present my facts and reasoning and everything went smooth. I said what I wished to say, and presented evidence that I felt could be beneficial and was asked several questions then the hearing concluded.
I chose to share this experience so that any veterans who may be scheduled for a hearing in the future can get an idea of how things work.. It was not a grilling or cross examination, or a pissing contest.
If you feel you would benefit from a personal hearing,. you can request one at any time.
