Comments:
I strongly disagree on the fairness of NSPS. Most managers we see at DFAS Columbus, are not on a high enough level of professionalism to be able to distinguish between work performance and friendships, let alone good work performance, and just plain not liking an employee enough to give them a decent performance rating and pay increase. There is still too much of the good ol boy network here, for it to ever be a fair system. The bad managers need to be held accountable, not give them more power. This much power in some managers hands could be detremental to an employee that they do not like. This pay system would be doing a great injustice to the Federal Workforce, especially employees that have a lot of years in federal service. An employee that has say 25 years in, and a manager that does not like them, they are at that managers mercy, that they could possibly be responsible for them losing their job would be a traversty. We have been told that China Lake has been under this system, and that they had a 58% approval rate. To me 58% is not a good enough approval rate to use them as an example.
