Anecdotally I have worked in government roles and have been rewarded extremely well for saving taxpayer money, to the point where I felt it was too much at times. It really all dials down on the common denominator, which is the boss or manager. I've learned over the years in both the private and public world that if a manager is not willing to go out of their way to reward their great employees, it's time to move on to the next role.
