[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to any pickleball courts in the DMV and you will find A LOT of remote Fed workers playing pickleball during normal work hours.  There are also A LOT of remote Fed workers at public golf courses during normal work hours.  I have played with so many of them for the past five years.  They book the golf tee times under their spouse's names, so that it can not be traced back to them.  [/quote]

Please like Feds have the money for even regular play on a public course. [/quote]

They definitely do, especially those GS-14/15 with specialized pay.  I know several GS-14 people at DHS making over 212K/yr.  Public golf courses in Fairfax County are very affordable.  It costs $39 for an 18-hole round of golf.  When a Fed works remotely, he/she saves money on lunch & transportation, and use that money for golf.  It's not that hard to understand.[/quote].

I’m a GS-14 at a different agency.  How do those at DHS make $212K?  I’m

DHS was granted the authority to create a new personnel system for cybersecurity in 2014. What came out of that was the Cyber Talent Management System, an “agile and innovative personnel system” that better equips DHS to “compete for cyber talent with the private sector — speeding up the hiring process, attracting talent from non-traditional educational backgrounds, using innovative tools to assess applicants, and offering more flexible performance-based compensation.”

[b]When finalized, the rule will allow DHS to hire cybersecurity personnel at salaries based on their skills, up to $255,800[/b][b] —the vice president’s salary. [b]That, however, can be overridden in special circumstances, with an “upper limit of 150 percent of EX-I ($332,100 in 2021)[/b],” the rule says.

Personnel hired to the DHS-CS will take what the department is calling qualified positions — excepted service roles with their own qualification requirements and [b]that are not subject to the appointment, pay, and classification rules of traditional competitive service positions, based on special hiring flexibilities.[/b] The Department of Defense has its own Cyber Excepted Service initiative based on similar hiring flexibilities to make itself more competitive and quick in hiring and managing civilian cybersecurity talent to its forces.
