There are no specifics about how this system will work. I believe that the new system will cause stagnation of careers because you will never know if you are performing at a high enough level to be rated as such. There are no performance evaluations now and I don't forsee any under the new system. Outstanding performance is ambiguous and is left completely to the discretion of one person...the supervisor. Much of the Government supervision is extremely hands-off as it is now, not necessarily because every supervisor is a bad one but because everyone is spread so thin. Under the old system, rewards were given when you performed above and beyond. The problem was that no one defined what above and beyond was and how to attain it. I'm not sure what prompted the changing of this system but I would have thought there were other systems that needed to be fixed first...ones that support customers.
