Since it's an increase in pay, taxpayers will foot the bill.
"(3) The employee has significantly and substantially contributed to and advanced Department or Mission goals and the Department’s Leadership and Management Principles in the areas of policy, management, and/or human resources, regardless of post or assignment;.
That's nebulous legalese for "make sure you are a team player and follow leadership and you may be rewarded".

What's the bonus for hanging portraits of Dear Leaders in one's office? Double your money if accompanied by a shrine with incense or candles?
Double your salary if you can keep a straight face while telling foreign leaders that deep-sixing USAID won't contribute to famine or increase emigration as economic and environmental conditions worsen across the global south? Lose your job if you dare ask whether the left hand might not know what the right hand is doing, or suggest they're sometimes at cross purposes?
The Apprentisident strikes again.
Government as reality show.
Fascist reality role playing rewarding loyalty oaths sworn to individuals -- not our country or Constitution.
To snag that meritorious bonus, an ambassador could perhaps commend Rubio to the Norwegian Finance Minister for his extraordinary qualifications for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Sitting on your porch is not public property, seriously doubt there is a DC law banning smoking outside. These goons need a refresher course on the law. Seems like one person would be sufficient to browse the neighborhood.
"tell your boys" - in that video. Sickening.
Yeah, so creepy
racist AF. I was watching one of the police in the video who was looking down most of the convo.
Just out of curiosity, how much taxpayers' money is going to this 'not at all self serving' “Meritorious Service Increase” (MSI) program?
As long as we are looking not so seriously at Waste, Fraud and Abuse, why not look at this public appeal for open bribery?
Not clear from the document. Sounds like something DOGE should’ve looked at
Yes, with a supersized golden chainsaw.

It’s all so morbidly comical. But it’s not funny.
Best line ever on Marco Rubio from Samantha Bee: "a puppet who finally became a real boy."
This is so creepy. Loyalty oaths. Worked in federal government from 25+ years. Never saw anything like this.

If you compromise your integrity
Too many times
You lose it

Making the myth of meritocracy worse again
What do these folks have to do, tug their forelocks and refer to Rubio as "my liege" in order to qualify?
