[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s at 5.2% in NDAA and silent everywhere else, which usually means it will end up at 5.2% if it tracks most other years.[/quote]

No way this happens for civilians.  The administration will settle for around 3 to get nutty GOP stuff out.[/quote]

I work in the budget and this is not what I’m hearing from OMB and OPM, the Republican House is fine with 5.2% and that was administration’s proposal so everyone is expecting that to be the number.[/quote]

The house being fin with 5.2 shows they are getting smarter about cutting federal government. A 5.2% increase in the most expensive line item in most agency budgets coupled with flat or cut appropriations means program cuts and hiring freezes [/quote]

Unless you’re an agency that is all people and don’t run any programs salaries and expenses are a very small percentage of total budgets, at our agency it’s less than 3%. The pay raise is a rounding error in our total budget.[/quote]

Salaries are the first or second expense in the biggest gov agencies. Programs always get cut to make sure people get paid and there are no furloughs.

The agencies are big because they employ many people so naturally a 5% increase on billions will have a big impact.

You must work at a tiny agency. [/quote]
