Sirs, I can not believe, that you would require civilian employees to be placed in a position of being relocated to another country to work, against their will. I am angry and disappointed that these proposals seem to treat the employees who help defend our country as the enemy. Most DoD employees are hard working and committed. Mistreating the employees will hurt the agency's mission. Working to support the Army's Mission is a privilege and an honor but most of us can not afford to leave our families and possibly be forced to work in a hostile environment. If our mission requires us to move at a moments notice, maybe we should consider increasing our Military workforce??? You will lose a lot of expertise, alot of people will be forced to take early retirement instead of moving. New blood/young people with families will not even consider a career as a government employee, as it is most young adults use the govenment as a stepping stone to better paying jobs. This system will change the way workers are paid, evaluated, promoted, fired, scheduled and treated. We deserve better, many of us earned it! It is our workforce that comprises the backbone of our National Security. Someone of your importance should be the first to reconize this fact and support our workers. How does the government take away our rights to bargain for a better life?
