In an Ideal world this can work, if everyone is fair and impatial, and CAN make desicions based on how the person performs and not how they personally feel. This is not the real world, people are human and to find someone who is able to put his or her differences aside and give someone who deserves a raise that they don't like, is too far and few between. If the management will be giving raises according to performance, one; how will the Government distribute the funds to the organizations and will there be a cap, what will be the guidelines for distribution of monies, will all organizations be given a percentage. Will there be checks and balances on Mangagment and their decisions on who gets a raise? This is close to the way private organizations work, and I have found that it can create an environment that is unhealthy to the organization. Next I'd like to address the Spouse of preference, I either missed it or it will not exsist in the NSPS. As a spouse moving every 2-3 years and in some instances less than that, the spouse of preference has lessen some of the stresses of moving. Although we are near the time of HIS retirement, I think that we should keep this available to our spouses who follow their husbands and lessen some of their fears of a new place.
