[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even at good agencies there are bad offices and divisions.  Same thing at bad agencies -- you can find a good place to land.  And then it can go sour when the administration changes. There's no one answer to your question.[/quote]

This is absolutely true. Also, those at some of the better agencies don’t know how good they have it. Having worked at an “okay” place first, I knew it was better than the crappy one where my Dad worked or the better one where my Mom worked. Then I worked at a better one. People complained all the time. They wanted 15s even when they hadn’t earned them and took for granted their 13/14 level jobs as if they were super low graded. Now I work at an even higher rated agency and people are complaining there too, despite a higher overall pay scale and somewhat less intense working conditions to where I had been prior. I took a downgrade for the job I am in now, with a raise and higher earning potential, so I guess maybe since I’m lower graded than I had been my workload isn’t crushing me and maybe it does crush other people who didn’t do that? I don’t know enough about them to tell. But my point is that people complain everywhere so you need to find your own best fit. The most important lesson to learn in Federal career development is that it’s squarely on you to make the best of what you have available and create a good path for what you want to do.[/quote]
