Can someone please tell me what is so bad with being a supervisor for an agency in DoD? I work in IT and my boss is a NH IV (equivalent to a GS 14) and is looking to retire but noone seems interested in his job. Am I missing something because the min starting salary for me would add at least 25-30K to my salary? I know money is not everything but does not seem that much more difficult. Reddit feedback says supervisor job is awful in federal government. Is this true?

If memory serves, you're a 13, so I'd double check on that $25-30k raise since it doesn't pass the sniff check unless you'd be going GS to NH and are expecting the maximum 20% promotion conversion.

To your question, being a fed supervisor can range from a light lift to a total nightmare. Depends on who the specific supervised employees are, how many there are, if a union is involved, how helpful/competent HR is, how the employees act, etc.

You don't get extra pay for being a supervisor, so you're paid the same in one of the nightmare scenarios as you're paid in a cakewalk scenario.
