Comments:
I thought most of the ideas presented were insightful. I think more needs to be done about the top-heavy nature of the DOD. Way too many managers exist for far too few workers. I have significantly more bosses than I have coworkers. Standards in the private workforce are completely different. You would have daily interaction with you immediate supervisor and would meet with one supervisor above that once in a while. After that, supervisor's above those two levels would not know who you were and you would never have met any of those supervisors. As it is now, I see people and know supervisors three and four levels above me daily. I also felt that the proposed ideas did not address workders being promoted out of groups in order to get rid of them. Managers find it easier to tell another group that a worker is decent just because its easier to get them out than to actually deal with them. A long and cumbersome process to dealing with poor employees will only encourage the same behavior as before.
