So, one of my work projects involves the conversion from the National Security Personnel System (NSPS) back to the legacy General Schedule (GS) system. The wise mean in Congress deemed that the multi-millions of dollars invested in a pay-for-performance program for government workers employed by DoD was nothing but a Bush-era boondoggle and pulled the plug. Well, Congress acted at the behest of their union overlords, but hey, who am I to complain?
I just got used to using the NSPS system and was beginning to actually like it when the plug was pulled.
The ironic thing is just about everyone did better money-wise under NSPS. I was for the most part a fan but there were some frustrating bugs in the process as well.
Back to the future!
I agree that there was bugs but I thought NSPS was going in the right direction. NSPS money wise was going good until this year. A lot of people where I work are complaining about the pay out this year.
