Wow, feeling more gracious for my ~$1k (pre-tax) performance bonus. USDA.

Did you have any furlough days? If not, STFU.

Same at EPA last year and this year. Only this year they snuck in an unannounced and unadmitted limit on the time off awards, too, which really pissed people off (the few who knew about it).

Just got notice that I got a 5K bonus this year. First time our agency has done bonuses in 3+ years, and the biggest one I've received ever. Very nice surprise.

I gather you did not read any of the responses before you posted this?

A WIGI would be awesome.

Last year at my agency if you got a 5 you could get a step increase (WIGI) instead of a bonus which was awesome. I actually prefer that to a bonus.

Nope. We didn't have to furlough anyone this year, though.

no - we did the first year I was here (a very minimal amount) but since the budget "troubles" - there have been no bonuses.
