For the rest of my GAO career, my Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates viciously used that against me big time. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that the pay cut and downgrade showed that GAO considered the following to be worthless a) my having worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels (currently $85,935-$97,395/year, b) my having passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) my having earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, and d) my almost having completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul.)
