Comments:
The new system promotes the good ole boy club. I have been in the Federal Government for over thirty years and have seen different performance measurement systems implemented and scraped. At one time if you received an outstanding there was money attached to it. My organization decided to cap the number of outstandings to 5% of the personnel (how's that for implementing an unlawful quota system?). What ended up happening was the system created it's own set of personnel problems. Now you want to take the same type of system, with a few modifications, and do the same thing. It did not work then and it will not work now. These systems were built with thought and flexibility. When completely changing an entire way of doing business, somebody gains, but most lose. This new system is Pay Bonding, not Pay Banding.
