NSPS – The Great AbyssJuly 24, 2009By Mark Gibson While DoD is not “spiraling” employees into NSPS, thousands still are falling into the abyss. March 16, 2009 DoD Press Release that announces the Defense Business Board review and the decision to stop converting employees to NSPS indicates that 205,000 are covered by NSPS. It further states that the decision to stop conversions to NSPS will affect about 2,000 employees. The DoD Demographics for Civilian Employees on the CPMS web site for March 31, 2009 show 208,475 NSPS employees. Some 3,475 more than what was announced just two weeks earlier. A month later, the DoD Demographics for Civilian Employees on the CPMS web site dated April 30, 2009 reports 209,994 NSPS employees. Nearly 5,000 more employees under the failed personnel system after the Deputy Secretary of Defense said they would stop the conversions. DoD has said that they were merely stopping the spiraling employees into NSPS. That in the regular course of business, they would recruit vacant positions previously converted to NSPS, create new positions in organizations already converted to NSPS, make reassignments of employees and a host of other personnel actions that will contribute to an increase in NSPS positions. Somehow I’m not buying that NSPS conversions have been stopped. |
