what does DOGE has to do with pay raise? There are 2 separate issues.

So you believe DRP trimmed fat? Oh brother...

The problem is, they've let the problem get so bad that there really isn't a plausible way to fix it. I've got 20 or so years left, if I stay in government, and I don't expect to see it changed. That's a long time to watch inflation eat away at your salary.

Yes! How many steps within the grade are the same pay now? 6 and up ?

Yup , pay compression step 6 & up.
Ridiculous. Even Eleanor Holmes Norton introduced an effort to correct.

I think we need more than 1% plus locality adjustment but a max of 1% would top it off.

Idk but inflation has been 3%. Somebody needs to trick Trump into a tariff “refund”

at my agency, more fat needs to be trimmed because there is still a lot of loafers left and some of them are contractors.

Some agencies have done multiple rounds of DRP already.

How about deferred resignation 3.0?

Yep. Rank and yank mode.

lol! Trump already declared 1% but I want to see if anything would change when he signs the executive order for pay raise.

Probably a pay freeze followed by some RIFs.

Is it going to be a minuscule 1% without COLA adjustments or can we expect a bit more by some miracle?
