Yep, I remember that bogus billet strategy. You’d have twelve positions of “X” and the manpower guys refused to fill more than ten of them. So when cut order came....you happily gave up two, but then you were shocked as the manpower guys now refused to fill more than eight slots. There is a plus and minus to this strategy.
when a GS 14 retires desk audit the position for two GS-6 and only fill one.
