Comments:
I am referring to the NSPS as a whole. The union is helpful when there is a grievence, problem with supervisors, and discussing job related problems. Without the union to stand with the employees, we will have no represenative to help. Leave our unions alone. With the pay for performace. I have worked for the government for 27 years. Right off , if a supervisor(s) likes you, you can never get enough praise, awards, and recognization. This does not mean the employee works any harder than the rest of the employees. It is simply, the supervisor(s) favors this employee. This is a known fact. There are employee(s) that work extra hard and go that extra mile, but because the supervisor(s) does not like this employee(s), they are never recognized for anything. I heard a supervisor state she would never give certain employees awards. These employees had worked for the government for over 20 years and had done an outstanding job. They were never late for work, stayed overtime to help, just went the extra mile. But the supervisor did not care for these people and they suffered as far as awards and recognization goes. With giving the power to the supervisor to decide if the employee deserves a pay raise, step increase, or awards, these people will never advance under this type of supervisor. More than likely they will lose their jobs to the favorites that do not work half as hard and are as devoted to their jobs as the others. Jobs are held for certain people. My understanding was equal employment for all. When a job description has to be re-written several times for a particular person to make the job list, there is something terribly wrong. This is pre-selection in any case. Again, these are friends or favorites that get this done. This again goes along with the power given to the supervisor(s) in rating their employee(s). Thank you for your time in reading this.
