About two weeks ago, I announced that I’m now a GS-14, Step 10. It turns out that I’m not, as my poor production for the final quarter of Fiscal Year 2023 disqualifies me from getting the step increase. I’m not in immediate danger of losing my job, but I’m not qualified for bonuses and the higher pay of a Step 10. The extra funds in last biweek’s and this biweek’s salary payments will have to be returned.
It isn’t a disaster for me, and I do hope to get things together, and keep my head above water. However, the demands to jump through extra hoops when writing Office Actions combine with the limited number of hours in a week to pose a problem for me.
