Comments:

How is the new system different from the current one in regards to hiring or promoting practices? It still appears that supervisors and upper management will have the final say on who will fill a position. One may be the best qualified and/or have the most experience for a vacancy but if he or she does not 'rank' with management their chances for selection are next to none. Also, what would happen to senority? I have over fifteen years of Civil Service with a good track record. In case of a RIF, could a person with less service bump me? These and many other issues should be addressed before the new system is finalized.
