So, one of my work projects involves the conversion from the National Security Personnel System (NSPS) back to the legacy General Schedule (GS) system.  The wise mean in Congress deemed that the multi-millions of dollars invested in a pay-for-performance program for government workers employed by DoD was nothing but a Bush-era boondoggle and pulled the plug.  Well, Congress acted at the behest of their union overlords, but hey, who am I to complain?
