OPM is not that bad! Full ranking shows 30 large agencies, not just top 20: http://data.bestplacestowork.org/bptw/overall/large

Somehow I don't find it reassuring that SSA ranks BELOW GSA. But maybe that's just me.

Right, A#2. Seems to me that GSA has a very poor retention rate. In any event, GSA is not the most popular agency. Managers everywhere have horror stories about space actions, RWA's, lease administration, and so on. Have a problem? Don't count on GSA to solve it, that's for sure.
