[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Do tell where your friends are earning $212k a year as GS14s. I am a 14 in the  DC area and the pay scale tops out at $181k. Despite my Ph.D. from a top 5 program I earn considerably less than that even after multiple years with the government. Looking at the locality table it tops out at $187k for New York. I call BS. I suspect the rest of your post is just as accurate.[/quote]

For someone with a Ph.D., it is unbelievable that you don't even know this, and you're a Fed.  Your Ph.D. should be revoked.  LOL....

The DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has special pay for people who are specialized in cybersecurity.  I joined CISA in 2021 as a GS-14 step 6.  After one year, my salary was increased by 25%, and I also received about 8K in bonuses.  In 2024, I am at GS-14 step 7 ($167,276 x 1.25 =  $208.75K + $8K bonus = 216K).  FWIW, I only have a BS degree in Computer Engineering from UVA.[/quote]

Yeah, because no one wants to runs checklist security theater for peanuts when even middling tech pays better.

Why in the world did you waste your time at UVA on engineering??[/quote]

LOL.... I graduated from UVA engineering, NOT CMU engineering.  Joking aside, 216K/year is a very good salary for me.[/quote]
