Absolutely! But after a while he knew why there was no kind of reward whether in the form of a financial compensation, a promotion or even additional days of vacation. Simply because the law of work does not have a section for exceptional performance/achievement.
"fully-owned and operated by the government" - This is the most important reason. For better or worse, gov't jobs are basically not allowed to meaningfully reward exceptional performance. There's just no mechanism for it.
Not to say things like this don't happen in private industry too - it certainly does. But at least you've got a chance. In most companies there is room to meaningfully bonus or promote or otherwise reward exceptional performance. You may or may not get something, but at least you can ask or push for it, and if they want to do it they can.

Neither do private companies. The measurement becomes the goal. And that measurement often has nothing to do with legitimate performance.
This doesn't happen at FAANG either, absolutely nothing to do with gov't
