Comments:
NSPS would like management to have more control but, many managers fail to manage now. Giving them more responsibility won't make better managers. NSPS will create a Good ol' Boy system and create an unproductive workforce. I see NSPS as a poor system causing civil service to go backword not forward. NSPS wants managers to have the ability to change expectations throughout the year, and claims supervisors will inform employees of those changes. It's hard to imagine managers, many of whom fail to have performance discussions with their employees now, communicate constant changes in expectations. Will eliminating the cost of living raises and step increases stop inflation??? If inflation continues and our pay doesn't, soon it won't pay for an individual to work. NSPS would like the civilian workforce to be deployable, yet not pay us the benefits the active duty receive. NSPS certainly isn't looking out for the working employee. I have been a Civil Service employee for 27 yrs and glad I am near retirement.
