Comments:
I wholeheartedly concur with all the negative comments concerning the NSPS that has been forwarded to your office. And a majority of the comments, if not all, are negative. This is also an indication that not working appropriately with our federal unions will further deteriarate worker/manager relations that will reduce productivity, not increase it. The civil service work force comments, the ones that really count, are all negative. I will work diligently to vote out all incumbents from my area if this passes into law. Anytime you give managers total control over employees without any checks and balances you loose all opportunity for those employees to provide valuable input to curtail mis-management of any program and subject them to the risk of management discrimination/retribution. No employee is willing to produce under these conditions. There will be no more normal work days. All would be sitting around waiting for the "dictator" to give direction because you wouldn't want to upset him or her. It would be like working under a communistic regime. You wouldn't dare make a move without first receiving the blessing from your now dictator boss. If this is implemented it will undermine all democratic processes. Why, if you choose to go to work as a civil servant, would you want to loose any of your basic due-process-of-the-law rights that anyone other than a civil servant would have if this is implemented? This is not going forward with democracy; this is going backwards by turning the civil servants into communistic comrades afraid to speak up for fear of reprisals. There are inept managers that need to be relegated to a lower status. Will there be input for employees to rate them?
