I have the opposite situation; I get a raise around this time of year but have to wait until April-ish for my meager "bonus".Originally posted by: Queasy

I guess my yearly evaluation was positive since that's what CDC bases raises (or lack therof) on. Yay me!![]()
It depends. You can phone in your work and you'll get an "acceptable" eval (and only a COLA) or you actually do some work and get the COLA plus an actual GS bump. It's actually fairly difficult to get an "excellent" rating as it requires a written explanation by your supervisor as to why you deserve this rating and review by your branch chief (or similar) to put the GS bump through.Originally posted by: imprezawrxwagon
Somebody I know really well works for CDC in their IT department. From what I understand, one just has to show up, to have "excellent" scores on the evaluation.
Did not mean to belittle or offend you. Just speaking out loud.
And, naturally, - congrats!

I dunno, you just kind of accused me of being a typical slackass gov employee and now you want cash? I don't think so.Originally posted by: imprezawrxwagon
