Comments:
IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT. I STARTED IN THE FEDERAL CIVIL SERVICE IN JUN 85 AS A GS-5, STEP 1, AM NOW GS-8, STEP 9. MOST OF MY COWORKERS HAVE BEEN DEDICATED, HARD WORKING PEOPLE WHO HAVE DESERVED THE RAISES THEY RECEIVED. I DOUBT IF THE AVERAGE WAGE WOULD IMPROVE UNDER THIS SYSTEM. MAYBE I AM GETTING TOO OLD AND CYNICAL, BUT IT APPEARS THAT ONE OF THE UNSTATED GOALS OF THIS CHANGE IS TO MAKE IT LESS LIKELY THAT A PERSON WOULD OR COULD WORK THE 30 YEARS NEEDED TO SECURE A RETIREMENT.
