In your Myths and Facts document, you state, 'Supervisors and managers will have an important role in determining performance-based pay increases. The flexibilities proposed in the NSPS regulations bring with them an increased need for accountability. This includes employee accountability for performance, as well as supervisory and managerial accountability for the proper exercise of the authorities of NSPS. Extensive training will be given to supervisors and managers, both military and civilian. Training will focus on improving skills needed for effective performance management: setting clear expectations; communicating with employees; and linking individual expectations to the goals and objectives of the organization. Supervisors and managers will be held accountable for how effectively they use the tools provided by NSPS. They will also be subject to the pay and performance provisions of the system, and their pay will be affected by how well they perform their duties as supervisors and managers.' WHAT! More training??? When do we have time for more training, what with all the classes we are having to take to get Acquisition Certified, become familiar with the new Wholesale Logistics Modernization Program (WLMP), ethics, prevention of sexual harassment, threatcon, IT security, etc…? Oh by the way, the work won’t stop! Oh by the way, no monies have been allocated for this supposed training. We were comprehensively “trained” on the TAPEs process and just look how well it reflects your worth!
