The SHADOW GOVERNMENT - DEEP STATE DUCK.
Reacting to the order, Tim Dirks, interim president of the Senior Executives Association, welcomed the hike in performance award spending, which was among the groups recommendations. We would have preferred that it be completely lifted, but we think this is definitely movement in the right direction, he told Government Executive.
SEA also welcomed acceptance of its recommendation that SESers be made to earn more than the employees they supervise, as well as the encouragement of non-monetary tools in the toolbox such as special act awards. Regardless of the presidential election results, Were hoping that a new administration would see the value of creating the type of flexibility to reward employees who perform in an outstanding manner in a meaningful way, which is difficult to do it under current guidance.
By some accounts there are 9,000 of these SES employees making more than a GS-15. Gee Whiz...DRAIN THE SWAMP.

raising the aggregate spending cap on executive performance awards from the current 4.8 percent cap to 7.5 percentSmart. Increased risk requires increased reward.

When you deal with the feds, and you meet some GS-15s, you quickly say to yourself: “These are the most arrogant SOBs I have ever met!”
... and then you meet someone from SES ...

I guarantee you that they are all getting “Outstanding” ratings. I worked for the federal government for four years back in the 1970s. The first job, for a year, was a waste in which I did something close to nothing on a daily basis and I told the “boss” the position needed elimination to save taxpayer money. I was the only one in his branch to receive a “Satisfactory” rating rather than “Outstanding” which all others in the branch were given. I didn’t like Garrison Keiler but he had the quote, “Everyone in this town was above average”. Well, everyone in the federal government is just “outstanding”.

When you cant run your game in the open, its rotten. Nobody said it's not rotten or nefarious. My point was that it was smart of obama to find a way to reward his goons with public funds and in a manner that didn't draw anyone's attention. You can be smart about accomplishing a goal even if the goal is immoral or unethical.

Note that overlooked in the McCabe retirement deal is that he’s been in SES rather than GS for a while. Their pay STARTS at 120% of GS-15, not to mention annual bonuses and raises. I certainly presume those SES numbers are calculated into retirement formulas.

Not when the overall stupidity of the goal itself outweighs the craftiness in methods of obtaining the goal.

I assumed I was thinking about the same goal you were talking about in your post #10.
