NIH and Federal service - Anonymous employee NIH Employee Review

The area i work in does not recognize your education, experience, work ethic, or quality of work. Every are has its own Silo. So whomever you work for dictates your work load, advancement etc.... I thought the government would offer a fair wage for work performed. I see people around me working like crazy and others with the same job or job title doing very different work loads etc... I thought that our Federal government would at least offer a fair job for work well done and not get as much from their employees as possible for the least salary (low bid used to win in the government and I thought those times had changed-guess not).
