Comments:
While I do feel that some change is necessary and would be beneficial to the Department of Defense, I do not think the proposed National Security Personnel System as it is currently defined is the answer. I feel the system would in fact benefit workers if the supervisory staff were impartial but the proposed system would in fact be detrimental to employees that have a less than ideal relationships with their supervisors. The employee may in fact be a hard worker and do everything expected but the personal issue would weigh in heavily when determining raises, etc. The government system in place now has protected employees' rights from favoritism and the new system rescinds those rights. In an ideal working environment, the proposed system would benefit dedicated workers and not benefit what I refer to as "dead weight" but not everyone works in an ideal environment. Those folks that are not employed in ideal environments would be severely limited and impacted. I feel very strongly that these issues need to be addressed before implementing the proposed personnel system. Thank you for your consideration.
