RIN3206-AK76/0790-AH82-Subpart B-Classification-You are going to end up with a generalized workforce and no one will be a specialist in anything. Subpart C-Pay & Pay Administration-This is going to have a huge affect on my retirement. If I'm not going to receive any more raises, why should I care or keep working for DoD? Subpart D-Performance Management-Management has always been able to reward high performance with a monetary award, time off award, QSI, etc. We don't need NSPS for this! Subpart E-Staffing & Employment-This will go back to the days of hiring all relatives. Subpart F-Workforce Shaping-I agree the hiring process is slow and cumbersome, but we do not need NSPS to figure out a solution to that problem. Subpart G-Adverse Actions-The system should be that all employees are entitled to due process and fairness which this proposal will destroy. Subpart H-Appeals-DoD will be the prosecutor, judge, and jury without allowing a third party review. Subpart I-Labor/Management Relations-A national level bargaining agreement might be good for some things, but there will always be local issues that need to be dealt with at each agency--one size does not fit all.
