Hiring and performance evaluation and RIF sections: I have cheered for this system initially. However, I just thought to caution against its potential misuse by political parties when they take the executive branch control. Will the federal employees be played with as a political football ? One needes to weigh whether the inefficiencies of the existing system can be tolerated vs. a potential grim possibility of having a political party in office misuse this flexibility in hiring and firing for political ends
