Comments:
I am concerned that NSPS leaves me with limited recourse to deal with a bad supervisor. In my 20 year career in the Federal Government I have had mostly wonderful competent supervisors but a few have been horrible. One supervisor had such an ingrained negative view of women that he did not know that he systematically degraded women in the workplace. Without the current system of recourse, I had I would have had to hire an attorney to deal with the situation. An attorney is a hugh escalation and expense to recoup my expenses. I would have to have sued for damages. The civil service system in place allowed the problem to be solved without dollar expense to the command. My current supervisor is nosy and belligerent, a small amount of power has gone to his head but the civil service system keeps him in line. Whatever he can get away with he would. I do not want to be without the current system of protection. If I am left without a workable inhouse system of protection I will be left with no choice but to use what workers on the outside have done for recourse... hire and attorney. I did not include my name out of fear of my name being revealed.
