Comments:
As I see performance ratings go down from exceptional to highly and fully due to a supervisor who does not believe anyone is better then average, even though we have set performance standards and have shown proof of exceeding those standards. As I have seen the awards split with his FAVORITE employees receicing well over $1,000.00 and the WORKERS receiving $300.00 to $450.00, the hand writing is on the wall. To give anyone person, especially one with such bias attitudes, the ability to control and alter the lives of many people is totally idiotic. The fact is, management has always had the ability to reprimand or GET-RID-OF low performing workers, but didn't want to put forth the time or effort. As I near retirement age and watch the cost of living increase yearly, the thought of losing in-grade increases or cost of living increases scares me. If pay increases or awards are dependent on the supervisor I currently have, I am in big trouble. The fact that they could go to high-5 instead of high-3 would cause a considerable cut in retirement monthly income. I have given many good years to the Governement in hopes of someday retiring and living comfortably. I do not want to work forever, or retire and get a part time job to supplement my retirement. I don't feel that the deployement should be a manadatory obligation, I feel this should be on a voluntary basis by persons with the ability to modify their responsibilities and be more mentally capable of performing their duty than someone that is forced to go with their mind on their responsibilites at home. Single parents with Children to raise should not be forcibly deployed. Maybe NSPS would work if there was a group involved in deciding future increases or awards, but if it is limited to training the opinionated supervisors we currently have in charge, chaos, panic and disorder is on the Horizon.
