For example, for managers who order destruction of documents such as the manager who ordered the destruction of 2nd pair of eyes lists as revealed in an email released under FOIA request 07-370 (this email was dated August 15, 2006 and sent at 12:44 PM), this type of behavior for managers should be frowned upon and should be appraised negatively.

Create a web based accountability and reward system for all employees or organizations which receive federal taxpayer funds using open source web based content management systems to reduce any overhead.

For example, allow local citizens to evaluate the performance of employees motivating the lowest performers to improve by being publicly identified, and financially rewarding the top performers for their service to the public. This shifts some of the focus and reward back to the citizen as the customer of a service paid for by their tax dollars. The reward could come in the form of a federal tax reduction to the high performs to avoid all budget arguments.

3 comments for Idea: Fraud waist and abuse, Dep of Energy...Carter established the Dep. of Energy to figure out how the US could become less reliant on foreign oil and now 20+ years later the US is still very reliant on foreign oil, probably even more so. So why do they exist if they/it cannot get the job done after over 20 years? Is it only strange to me that billions of tax dollars are going into this Dep. and nothing to show for it?

How would you evaluate President Obama's performance thus far?
Obama administration ushering in socialism
In nearly every policy area, he wants to tax, spend and control. Citizens need to act before we lose our freedoms to big government.
In 1927, Norman Thomas, a six-time candidate for president on the American Socialist Party ticket, said, "The American people will never vote for socialism. But under the name of liberalism, the American people will adopt every fragment of the socialist program."
The threat of socialism has always been with us, but at this moment -- under unchecked Democrat rule -- the threat is real. Russia's newspaper, the Pravda, recently featured a column that said, "Like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening with breathtaking speed, against the backdrop of a passive, hapless people." Even Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has warned Barack Obama against adopting further socialism, saying Russian history clearly proves it is a recipe for failure. "Any fourth-grade student knows socialism has failed in every country, at every time in history," said Putin.
Last November, millions of Americans voted for a first-term senator about whom they knew little. His voting record was the most liberal in the Senate but his rhetoric was moderate, so many voters took a chance. After Obama's first four months in office, voters' doubts have been answered: Obama is a European-style socialist. Simply put, he wants to tax, spend and control. In everything from his economic policy to his energy policy, Obama is moving the country from a traditional American model of entrepreneurship and private initiative to a European model of regulation and government control. I don't think the American people knowingly voted for this type of power grab.
Obama came into office highly critical of the previous administration's spending and deficits. Well! His proposed deficit over the next two years is an astonishing $3 trillion, or $27,000 of debt per U.S. household. George Bush might have spent like a drunken sailor, but Obama's spending orgy makes Bush look like a teetotaler. Government spending soars by 30 percent to $3.9 trillion in the Democrat's 2009 budget. Furthermore, Obama projects $500 billion deficits as far as the eye can see despite saying, "We are out of money now" in a recent CSPAN interview. During the debates he vowed to carefully scrub the budget line by line for programs that did not work. Toward that end he recently asked his Cabinet to cut costs in their departments by $100 million -- a minuscule .0027 percent of the budget! That's the equivalent of a family of four cutting $1 from its annual budget.
We are also now witnessing the most radical meddling of the government in private industry ever as we've quickly become "bailout nation." Taxpayers will spend at least $10 billion on Chrysler, $50 billion on GM, $170 billion on AIG, $700 billion for the TARP bank fund, $400 billion to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, $29 billion to Bear Stearns and the list goes on. Up next -- the health care and energy industries. When does this insanity stop?
From his pro-abortion stance to his "blame America first" mindset, this president does not share the values of most voters. We did not elect a leader who punishes the job creators in America while warmly embracing two-bit dictators whose goal is the destruction of America. He is a leader who closes the highly successful school voucher program for needy children in Washington while bailing out fiscally irresponsible states. What can we do? Well, you and I can do a great deal. Contact your elected officials. Participate in Tea Party protests. But please DO SOMETHING before we lose our individual liberties and freedoms to big government.

1 comment for Idea: USPTO Should be made to post information on its performance appraisal ratingsEverywhere I comment on this board, I'm doing so in my personal capacity. The USPTO should be made to post for the public to see, information on the distribution of the performance appraisals that it has given to patent examiners.

4 comments for Idea: Equal employment benefits and pay for Part Time WorkersBritain has provided support and equal rights to their part time workers for a number of years. This provides a stable and secure work force for an insecure economic climate.
Is it about time that America caught up ... and gave equal employment rights to part timers and full timers. Lets value all workers as equal.

There is much research available on what good performance management looks like. Too often as implemented it is hurtful and does not help an employee improve. These days, with so many people out of work - some laid off, some forced to leave due to bad management practices rather than the employee - this issue impacts peoples lives and work productivity.

These days, with so many people out of work - some laid off, some forced to leave due to bad management practices rather than the employee - this issue impacts peoples lives and work productivity. We need better laws that help monitor processes companies use to make decisions on who is promoted, what criteria is used, and how rewards are paid. You doubt this? Just consider what we've recently seen in the Banking industry, the Auto industry, etc. One root of all this lies in each companies performance management system and processes.

With the technology today we do not need so many to represent the people. Cut costs by laying off the dead weight. If they do not perform and do not show up to vote, let them go. No pension and no insurance. As for income, the senate and house earn what teachers make. And they do not get so much time off. This would eliminate the desire for lifetime politicians. they should serve 2 terms and there out, just like our president. ...more »
