Isn’t that what happens in government under the current Grade-Step system? People basically advance in career and compensation based on years in office vs. quality of performance. At least that’s the overall perception of public sector pay among citizens…and OPM Director John Berry:
The current review process “seems to take place in Garrison Keillor’s Lake Wobegon, where everyone is above average,” said Berry, who prefers to be called the government’s “chief people person.” “If that doesn’t make our performance ratings suspect, I don’t know what would.”
Do you find this to be true in your agency? Are people promoted based on tenure or talent?
Do you like the current situation or would you prefer to have a more performance-based environment in government?
