Performance Management-- Subpart D and Pay band. I don't agree with the NSPS. I have been a GS-0303 and GS-0318 for 16 years. I have always worked above my level of responsibility for the good of the team. However, I am now working for a supervisor who is not competent in some area of his job (managerially). He expects me and others to carry him in the areas where he is weak (unable to write or go to a briefing on his own with one of us to hold his hand) without compensation and often empty promises of promotion to keep us in check. You are only giving my supervisor more power to lord of me. You are making a very difficult situation even more difficult. Supervisors are already not being held accountable. The higher ups will continue to cover each other, while the kiss ups and do-nothings get the pay raises and the good people get stepped on because we don’t want to play nice. This system will only cause more abuse. You need to find away to eliminated an antiquated leadership that feed on the more technology advanced employee(s) to cover there inability to fulfill there duties, instead of crippling a workforce that is already dysfunctional. It is the people in my job series who make the supervisors look good but will die by the pen if we make waves. I understand the President and the Secretary of Defense wanting to fix a broken system but their going about it the wrong way. You’re building an IRAQ dictatorship within our own government if you establish NSPS within the DoD civilian workforce. We need change but not like this.
