Welcome to the Ying-Yu Hobbs Misconduct Site
In 2025, Ying-Yu Hobbs was Office Manager of the Mountain View, California Social Security Field Office. Note: The supervisor for the office in question was Andrea Galina.
As of October 2025, I'd spent nearly the entire year attempting to interact with Ms. Hobbs as politely and as productively as possible.
Ms. Hobbs, for her part, spoke with me once by phone, gave me her phone extension, and promised to speak with me again. She broke the latter promise and, on October 10, 2025 escalated the matter without cause in writing that threatened litigation and “law enforcement” actions against me.
The context is that one of Ms. Hobbs' staff members, who identified himself as “Joe” phoned me out of the blue in Spring 2025 to berate me and to threaten to sabotage my Social Security payments.
The staff member is believed to have carried out the threat. I've been seeking ever since to discuss the matter with Ms. Hobbs.
They say that no good deed goes unpunished. I've spent a year on trying to be civil to this civil servant and it was pointless. Yingyu Hobbs is anything but civil herself.
I'll be filing complaints at different levels and ultimately, polite agents have explained to me, I'll probably need to go to a department named Congressional Unit.

Parties involved:
Nothing that will be disclosed or discussed here is considered to be protected personal information. Allegations to the contrary may be treated as barratry, malicious prosecution, and/or abuse of process.
* Robert Kiraly aka The Old Coder is age 67, DOB Jun. 1958. Single. Resume will be linked here. His social media is Coder Dansu located at:
The Old Coder's education included a double major at U.C. Berkeley. High Honors in Math and Honors in Computer Science.
The Old Coder is autistic or, more precisely, has a parallel condition that confers a savant skill. It's innate and not earned. It's useful in these situations, regardless.
* Yingyu Hobbs aka Ying-Yu Hobbs is age 45, DOB Dec. 1979. Married. We'll spell her first name both ways so as increase coverage by search engines.
Education was at San Jose State University. Major and performance are not yet established.
Yingyu seems to have started as a rent-a-car person and an insurance claim adjustor and to have worked her up through the Social Security hierarchy over the past 15 to 20 years. To do the last part took patience and effort. She probably doesn't want to leave Social Security despite the national situation.
Ms. Hobbs' annual salary at Social Security seems to be about $125,000. The possible error is 5% in either direction.
The Old Coder isn't presently earning any income and so he is unable to list the corresponding figure for himself.
Personal and professional associates might be willing and able to comment for the book on Ying-Yu Hobbs' tenacity and work ethic.
Technical note: It's fundamental that consensual discussions with associates can't be barred by RO. Litigants often try for it, though. Attorneys encourage the attempts so as to drive up legal fees. The fees end up being in the $150,000 to $250,000 range and the litigants get nothing for that.
Literally nothing. I've never signed a Court settlement in a case against me. There was a non-Court agreement in 2013 but I was forced to tear that up.
The system and how to use it will be discussed in the book. Suggestions for titles are welcome.
One possible title is the “Eat the Rich Recipe Book”. Another is “Steal This Legal System”. But nobody under age 65 is likely to remember Abbie Hoffman and get the joke for that one.
* District Managers will go here.
