Regarding your propaganda below:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MYTH Seniority and veterans’ preference will no longer count in the event of a reduction in force (RIF). FACT Not true. Veterans’ preference eligibles are still retained over employees without veterans’ preference in RIF. Also, seniority continues to be a factor in RIF. However, because NSPS is a performance-based system, the proposed regulations give greater weight to performance in RIF retention by placing performance ahead of length of service. Employees competing for retention under RIF who have the same performance ratings will be retained based on length of service.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This is the crux of the problem, an employee must have a fair way to fight his appraisal if he wants to protect his job. The performance based system is not fair and never has been. If you get on the wrong side of an evil supervisor, then you are in trouble. My advice to new employees - be a brown noser, do everything you can to make your supervisor happy, only go to high profile jobs, get in authority and take on as litlle responsibility as possible,spend a lot of time in the bosses office telling him how great he is, dress well, be a team player, alway always say yes, act like you know what you are doing even if you do not, only be against something if the glory boys are, be self-centered, remember that you cannot get in trouble if you do not do anything, blame others, belittle people, do not further help anyone who cannot benefit your carreer, be a smoozer, stab your fellow workers in the back, be seen with the glory boys, do not in any way be nice to the losers, pretend that you are a Christian(you do not have to act like it by any means),do not make anyone mad, and what ever you do, do not screw up. If you cannot do this or if God made you a decent person - seek employment elsewhere - the Government is not a good place to work anymore.
