daniel.field@nellis.af.mil From what I read about this system, it begins to read something like the old spoils system. This May, I will 28 years in Federal Service.I believe with this gigantic change in the way the Government has worked, will only breed the boot lickers. The reason this system, the MERIT system was installed in the first place, because it became infested with yes men, and wanna bee's who couldn't do the job, but were always getting the promotions. I don't see how a system like that which the likes we haven't seen in decades could succeed. Yet, here we are, about to use the spoils systems just coined a different name. When bosses pick the "good ole boy, or girl" because I like him, just doesn't get the job done. There is merit being a nice guy to some degree, but a proven record of accomplishment should be the true promotional judge on an employee. So I think this program is just wishful thinking, and bad policy.
