[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate the implication on DCUM that most feds are topped-out 15s. That is the realm of a few niche career paths like law or upper administration. The vast majority of us will spend our entire careers at the worker bee level of GS 9-12. Maybe 13 if we go into management. Barely cracking six figures after decades of service is a real hardship in the DC area.[/quote]

It's that the 15s complain the most.  Yes, the pay cap is an issue but it affects a small minority of employees but gets outsized attention in this forum.[/quote]

At my agency roughly 10% of the workforce are GS-15's as a GS-15 is a front line manager.  You hit the paycap in 7 years as a GS-15 or in about 15 years as a GS-14. 14's makeup about half the workforce.  It's a real issue in this particular agency, but I agree that workforce wide it isn't as much of an issue.  Fixing SES pay, or bumping the difference to an SES-3 like they did bumping the paycap from SES 5 to 4 about 16 years ago would help pay compression a lot. In reality though to eliminate the paycap you would probably have to bump it up to an SES 2.[/quote]
