Comments:
I have grave concerns about this proposed new system. I have a different military chiefs every 3 years. This evaluation system is only as good as what by "boss" is familiar with. What system is in place that will ENSURE that he/she knows how to operate in this system? They don't even know how to operate in this "old system" that we have. How will pay increases be funded? Currently, outstanding work is funded by our internal "budget." Our budget is fairly small, and our rewards fairly small. I rely on our current structure (step system) to compensate me fairly. If you take the step system away, no other buffer systems are in place to ensure a fair system. The current step system buffers for factors such as "bad bosses". What system is in place to protect and ensure fairness in this new system? We cannot rate our supervisors. This makes them unaccountable for their lack of good leadership qualities. So much emphasis is placed on the ratee vs. the rater. The rater is much a part of "the system" as the ratee. These proposed regulations need a thorough overhaul before they are implemented.
