Comments:

You're throwing baby out with the bathwater. There is a system already in place that has been developed over time. The problem here is there aren't honest supervisors in place to give employees honest evaluations (i.e. the old boy network just got an upgrade). Now instead of supervisors giving employees luke warm evals so they won't get promoted - now they will give them the same evals so they won't receive a pay raise. And how much are we spending in Iraq? Oops, I guess you won't be getting a good eval this year because we can't afford it. Oh well, there's always next year.... Hey I hear Enron is hiring. What? How did that happen? I thought the private sector system was perfect! And only 30 days for comments? I wonder if these comments will even be read. Sounds like this system will be slam dunked no matter what happens. Facts will definitely not get in the way of this process. I wonder if there are hidden agendas? The bottom line is you can't turn a system based on politics and pretend like it's a private system. And politics is the driver as you go up the supervisory chain.
