Comments:
NSPS appears to be an excellent means to promote the good old boy system. Supervisors and managers will then be able to target specific employees for removal from their jobs so that they can hire or promote someone that they choose as well as financially rewarding their friends, suck-ups and brown nosers . This in turn will open up many lawsuits for descrimination of one form or another as well as creating an extremely hostile work environment. I have seen no mention in NSPS as to how this will be avoided. I have also seen no mention in NSPS as to what will prevent DOD or supervisors from reclassifying current employee positions from what the employee hired on for to positions that the employee may find undesirable or unsuitable. What in NSPS will prevent a supervisor from claiming an employee has poor attitude or professional demeanor (These are subjective words), and can therfore be interpreted however the supervisor desires regardless of the employees true performance. NSPS must have been designed by people that believe we live in a perfect world where there is no prejudice, discrimination, favoritism, or inequality. Either that or there is another agenda here that we are uninformed of. There is no mention of performance factors for disabled workers or of how these individuals will be treated when their supervisors can say they are not performing up to standards. If the government is supposed to provide the leading example of how an employer is supposed to treat and deal with its employees, what does NSPS say about our government.
