[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like my job and my colleagues. I work 40 to 45 hours a week. I could get a supervisory role in my office. I would be supervising excellent workers. But… I have 19 years left until I retire. I know my staff would change at some point.. I almost make a GS15-1 salary already, and the GS 15 pay scale is capped and the cap creeps down the scale every year. Is it worth the extra work and headaches? If you were in a similar situation, what did you decide? [/quote]

The pay cap is real, but it seems to get lifted a bit every 5-10 years.

At my workplace a 14 and a 15 both are doing deeply technical work.  The supervisory 15 also is, but she also looks after the budget (with help from a GS-7 financial analyst) and handles the performance reviews.  A supervisory 15 where I am also can get a non-trivial $$$ bonus at end of FY, depending on how their group did.

Different parts of the civil service are very different.  OP needs to understand the pluses and minuses in their organization, and also the potential benefits of getting a 15 and then laterally moving in a few years.[/quote]
