Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
When I was a civilian employee of the Air Force, I got a bonus every year for the last 8-10 years. Sometimes only $300-$500, but the last few years, ranging from $1100 to $1500. Then...2 years ago I switched to a different DoD agency, and discovered they're not all as generous as the Air Force. So far, I've only gotten a 16 hours time off award.
More than likely, what is going on is that the other agency reserves the cash for upper management...
