Comments:
If the goal is to come up with a new Civil Service System, what is wrong with making this New System to only affect future employees and not the ones who currently have worked for the DOD for many years. Why are you trying to re-invent the Wheel in the name of National Security? If you want to have a National Security in this Nation, the first thing that needs to be done is shut down and secure our Nations Borders, and then deport all who are illegal aliens. We already have a system that serves the Civil Service Worker and the Nation very well. The proposed changes to the work rules in the DOD is just a bunch of mud and smoke screen. This new system is very political as it gives management way too much power. Under this proposed System, You can work hard all year long but if you do not please your supervisor for what ever reason, then, you get shafted. You do not acheive National Security by drastically changing DOD regulations that take away the Merit System and all Seniority advantages that have taken employees years to earn. I have been a faithful and dedicated DOD worker for many years and it makes me angry that these proposals seem to treat me as the enemy. Most DOD employees work very hard and are commited in their service to our Nation. This proposed system will change the way workers are evaluated, promoted, paid, fired, and treated. The proposed rules would create a system in which management is influenced by favoritism. We need work rules that preserve fairness, serve the American people, and respect the rights of DOD workers, which is what we have now in the current system. If only 15 percent of an agency's total workforce can possible receive a raise and then they can only get a possible maximum of 10 percent, then hardly anyone, except for management will ever receive a raise. Leave well enough alone.
