Forgot to included this in the above:

FTA: President Trump on Thursday announced that he would cancel a scheduled 2.1 percent across-the-board pay increase for federal workers, as well as locality pay increases.

“In light of our Nation’s fiscal situation, Federal employee pay must be performance-based, and aligned strategically toward recruiting, retaining, and rewarding high-performing Federal employees and those with critical skill sets,” Trump wrote in a letter to the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate.

"More broadly, the president has signaled his support for moving away from fixed schedule of pay increases and toward performance-based pay.' Thanks, this news brought a big smile to my face. 😀
