    "The Defense Department, which employs about 1,200 of the 7,000 SES members governmentwide, has had particular troubles implementing pay-for-performance for senior executives."

    If the SESers cannot develop their own performance-based system how does anyone expect them to implement NSPS for the rank and file employees?

    Steny Hoyer and Tom Davis should work together and stop this bad new system from replacing an existing system that we at least know how it works. Neither system is going to do anything near the good that its supporters mouth or that the press seems to think is good. NSPS is not pay for performance any more than the current system is pay for performance. The press should stop calling NSPS pay for performance and start calling it pay for conformance!

    Another crutch for managers -- If they do not know how to be managers without a program or another company assisting them with goal setting then the manager should be fired. Just how difficult can it be to develop a goal? This is ridiculous.
