Comments:
I oppose the waiver of 5 U.S.C. chapter 43 and 5 CFR part 430, which provide important criteria, standards and procedures governing the performance management system. No compelling need to eliminate these provisions has been presented, which protect employees from arbitrary and unfair treatment in the evaluation of their performance. Relaxing the standards for management to conduct employee evaluations and set performance standards will not enhance national security. This will only lead to greater uncertainty about what is expected of employees, resulting in misunderstandings, disruptions, and inefficiencies in performance. This will make employees wanting to go postal on there employers. The next thing you know we will have to have machines to scan personnel to insure that they do not have weapons. Everyone will be hostle and the employers always watching over there shoulders. If the supervisor is one that have it in for the empolyee and the employee alreay know that when the switch is made and they see changes in the way the supervisor acts toward them they cannot voice there opinion this could lead to violence in the workplace. Also the classes that they send employees are not helpful. There is a need for some alternate solutions.
