I understand that many federal organizations have received briefings on the proposed NSPS regulation. I work for DITCO, and have not received any briefing on this matter. Wish we were all on the same playing field. In the proposed NSPS regulation, I understand that federal employees will lose most seniority privileges they have come to depend on. Since federal employees work side by side with the military, why don't these standards apply to both in regard to pay for time in service for our country? The federal employees who have the knowledge learned by time in rank, are to be placed in the same category as a first time worker out of college, green behind the ears, who is without basic knowledge of the fundamental purpose of the federal agency assigned. This practice would never be acceptable in the battle field where training, seniority, and chain of command is paramount. And out of pace in the corporate world. To be the most productive, the employee must be seasoned, educated, and have the gumption to exceed. Please don't treat, pay, or promote, seasoned employees as you would the newest employees in the federal sector! Pay for performance should always consider seniority as a factor, in addition to the other accomplishments performed. This newest proposed regulation, stinks. The only changes should be limited to timely "hiring," " firing," etc., not rewriting what's not broken. Terrible waste of Taxpayers money!
