IT'S ABOUT TIME THERE IS A SYSTEM TO REWARD AND ADVANCE THOSE WHO WORK HARD, ABOVE AND BEYOND, TO ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION!!!!!!!! THE ONES WHO ARE CRYING OVER THE PROPOSED CHANGES ARE THE ONES WHO ARE COMPLACENT AND WANT TO RIDE THEIR EMPLOYMENT OUT IN ORDER TO DRAW THE AUTOMATIC STEP INCREASES. THIS SYSTEM WILL UNDOUBTEDLY GIVE THEM THE LONG OVERDUE POKE IN THE BUTT TO WORK OR MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AND BE REPLACED BY SOMEONE WHO WILL WORK. I, ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS WITH MY SAME WORK ETHIC, ARE TIRED OF CARRYING THE WEIGHT OF OTHERS WHO SIT SMUG KNOWING THAT THE CURRENT SYSTEM CAN'T REMOVE THEM UNLESS THEY'VE COMMITTED MURDER. EVEN THEN, THE UNION WILL FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL TO DEFEND THEM INSTEAD OF ALLOWING THEM TO BE BOOTED AND SET AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE A SLUG. IF THE UNION USED THEIR ENERGY TO CORRECT THE THINGS THEY DON'T LIKE INSTEAD OF DEFENDING THE UNDESERVING WITH THE TYPICAL UNION "DON'T MESS WITH US" ATTITUDE, THEY MAY GET A TAD MORE RESPECT. ALSO, THE PAY POOL FORCES SUPERVISORS TO RATE EACH EMPLOYEE ON THEIR PERFORMACE BOTH AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND IN COMPARISION TO THE OTHERS IN THEIR OFFICE. AS TO THE CONCERN ABOUT FOLKS WHO WILL KISS UP TO THE BOSS IN ORDER TO GAIN FAVORITISM, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THOSE KIND OF PEOPLE IN ANY SYSTEM. THE SUPERVISORS, WHO ARE HUMANS LIKE THE REST OF US, WILL BE REQUIRED TO MAKE HONEST ASSESSMENTS OF THE EMPLOYEES UNDER THEIR CHARGE. IF WE HAVE LESS THAN HONEST SUPERVISORS NOW, THIS NEW SYSTEM WILL ALLOW THEIR SUPERVISOR TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN RATING THEIR PERFORMANCE. WHEN IT'S TIME TO HIRE OR FIRE, I THINK THAT STREAMLINING THE SYSTEM WILL MAKE THE WORKPLACE BETTER IN THAT THE UNDER-ACHIEVERS WILL LEAVE IN A HURRY AND WILL BE REPLACED PROMPTLY. THE UPBEAT MORALE OF THE PEOPLE AND THE GUARANTEED SUCCESS OF THE MISSION WILL BE EVIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
