Want A GOOD Job

Ever dream of finding a job where no matter what you do in your day-to-day performance you get paid ever more each year? Well look no further citizen, the government wants you!

Until now - that means as of today - government employees whose annual review found their performance "unacceptable" were treated, at least from a financial aspect, the same as employees whose performance was deemed acceptable. Unlike the "real" world, these individuals were paid annual raises the same as everyone else.

See how nice it is when everyone is treated equally - it doesn't matter what you do on the job. The fact that you are "on the job" is all that really matters.

A recently released House Committee report stated:

"Currently, all federal civilian employees, no matter how they are rated on their performance, receive the annual nationwide adjustment in January of each year. Federal civilian employees who are rated as 'below satisfactory' still receive an increase in salary despite the fact that they are underperforming."

For the record. Federal worker union leaders (leaders - that's a joke) are opposed to performance based pay. Imagine that!

During the George W. Bush administration a special system (NSPS - Nation Security Performance Systems) was created at Defense that attempted to more closely tie pay to performance but was repealed by law in 2009. Imagine that!

Well, hopefully a House bill expected to pass Thursday will at least put and end to federal workers with unacceptable performance sucking ever increasing amounts of money out of the pockets of those who actually work. Pay provisions are part of the Defense Authorization bill coming up for a vote this Thursday and if this country knows anything at the Federal level, it is how to spend money to kill people keep us safe.
