While I commend the DOD's efforts to meet the challenges of today's workplace, I am also concerned with two major componets of this system. I feel that while this system rewards production and performance, it will also create an element in the work place which could enable management to look favorably upon a chosen few while other employees who may not fall into the good graces of this realm my very well be subject to a new form of reprisal. The tool which starts out as a fair means of advancement may very well become the same tool for abuse. One person, a supervior, can decide if I will be retained, will receive raises, reduce my salary because of anything they deem as the system. Being a loyal civial servant and going beyond what is expected in the work place, will no longer matter. Only what your supervisor thinks. The possibility of greed and amerce will be unconscionable when you give a civilian supervisor that much power, especially when they only have to answer to military who, in my experience, don't what to get involved in civilian matters. I HAVE SEEN this already. After years of service, the thought that I can loose my job because of the discretion of one individual is beyond anything American. After years of service, who will employ a person of a particular age. Also, what about loss of retirement and benefits. To work all your life and at the end of your career have nothing and live indigently is more than I can comprehend. Lives and families are going to be destroyed. The people who have proposed this or should I say the person who is pushing for this system, doesn't have to worry about retirement. How nice for them.
