Comments:

Ideally, a new human resource management system would promote esprit-de-corps so as to enhance the effectiveness of the workforce. These proposals fall far short of that ideal. Instead, they will result in a demoralized workforce composed of employees who feel as if they have been relegated to second-class citizenship. This system will encourage experienced employees to seek employment elsewhere and will deter qualified candidates from considering a career at DoD. It will put DoD at a competitive disadvantage.
