Comments:
NSPS is infinitive. There are no parameters for checks and balances. There are no parameters for accountability of performance actions. The system promotes favoritism and cronyism. It also promotes discrimination. Managers have had the means to withhold raises, punish under performing employees, and shape their offices under the GS system but failed to do so. How will the managers’ skill be improved under NSPS to prove that they are capable of leading, of making difficult decisions, and doing hard work that they have shirked in the past under the GS system. NSPS does not address these issues. NSPS undermine the Union’s talent. In my opinion, the Union is the checks and balances of any performance system.
