Lol. What happens to an employee if this efficiency requirement isn’t met? A nasty gram? A mean look?

USPTO will PIP walk you out right out the door if you don't meet production and quality quotas. They have entire departments dedicated to this. That agency has a high attrition rate because of the quotas.

USPTO, SEC, FDIC, and FRB operate differently than Department of Education, NASA, etc... it is because USPTO, SEC, FDIC don't rely on tax payers money to operate.  USPTO collects revenue from patent filers and other things.

Does SEC PIP a lot of people? For the production resulting in PIPS at USPTO, is this for patents or trademarks people?

If you work in IT at USPTO, no PIP. If you are a patent examiner, you have to meet the quota or you will get shown the door.

Sad to see so many Dmv couples both grind at demanding jobs with so little predictability and family time. So silly and unnecessary. What’s the point?

How does one become a financial regulator?

They get put on a performance plan and then fired.

There is no secret sauce. I've seen folks hired who have incomparable resumes. I've also seen folks hired because, well, no one really knows why, because the person is a total dud. Ymmv.
