I agree. It was important at first, but I don’t care so much now. I put in an honest days work and the rest is out of my hands. And honestly, in the end maybe I get an extra $1-2k bonus for a 5 rating and it’s taxed at a high rate anyway. Whatevs.

Only 5s can get QSIs, but not all 5s get QSIs. As someone mentioned above, they’re expensive so usually only one or two people in each work unit can get one. Some offices require that you have a perfect 5 (vs a rounded up 5) to get one.


Sorry I wasn’t clear. I get a QSI about every other year and I’ve never received a 5 before.


You are most likely getting a Within Grade Increase (WGI). Same outcome, but QSIs are performance based. You can get a WGI and QSI in the same year.

My sub-element of my agency doesn't give QSIs. Let that sink in.

+100

The ironic part is that the ratings have zero reflection on you and speak more about your supervisors’ neuroses or lack thereof.

I received all 5s a couple of years back and received QSI. I moved division and was told no one gets all 5s but you could still get QSI on lesser rating.

My agency only gives 1 or 0 QSIs per division. It seems like QSIs are pretty rare for my HHS agency

It depends on the agency, and maybe even the office. At my agency we don't even do numerical scores.
