I'm not sure what GS-13 is... I'm really brand new to working for the government in any capacity... but from what I have seen, the waste is worse the
lower in the heirarchy you go. Absolutely nothing is expected of the folks at the bottom, except maybe that they actually show up to work (I'll have to get back to you on that one). The folks in the higher-level positions by and large do seem focused on getting work done, with a few exceptions.
I guess that the higher ranks have more corruption-style waste, fraud, and abuse, whereas the lower ranks have more of the sloth-style. Either way, what Ambassador Bolton once said about the UN could be easily applied to pretty much any part of the federal government.

You MUST be brand new to think the higher ups are focussed on getting work done.

They are only adapting to the 'new' elected officials and making certain their budgets will not be reduced.
