  Reporting Budgeting Abuse

  Create a mechanism by which federal employees can ANANOMOUSLY and openly report waste, fraud, and abuse of government funds at each agency. Employees in the federal government often know best where the skeletons are buried or which closet they are hidden in but fear, intimidation, and retaliation are alive and well today in many federal agencies so employees will not speak up because they know they will all of a sudden ...more »

  Create a mechanism by which federal employees can ANANOMOUSLY and openly report waste, fraud, and abuse of government funds at each agency. Employees in the federal government often know best where the skeletons are buried or which closet they are hidden in but fear, intimidation, and retaliation are alive and well today in many federal agencies so employees will not speak up because they know they will all of a sudden be given a bad performance evaluation, or not get a bonus at the end of the year or possibly even be terminated or transferred against their will. We could save millions of dollars if employees could feel free to identify areas of waste, fraud and abuse without being retaliated against.

  Performance Appraisal »

  Objective Rather Then Subjective Performance Appraisals

  The performance appraisal systems at many of our government agencies including HHS have been a failure for far too long. In their current structure they do not ensure that ratings are in line with actual performance and they are highly subjective rather then objective allowing for varied interpretations and abuse by managers who want to play favorites and not look at the work that has actually been achieved.

  The performance appraisal systems at many of our government agencies including HHS have been a failure for far too long. In their current structure they do not ensure that ratings are in line with actual performance and they are highly subjective rather then objective allowing for varied interpretations and abuse by managers who want to play favorites and not look at the work that has actually been achieved. Written performance measures should be established at all levels for all elements and at one level above and one level below the fully successful level. If this is done managers and employees will all know what is expected of them and how to achieve the desired rating. Due to the funding issues associated with the awards structure related to many performance appraisal systems they have become quota driven system that often ignores performance instead of rewarding it.

  Hiring and Promotion Practices

  Hiring practices at our federal agencies need to be open and transparent. Cronyism should have known place in hiring and promotion practices particularly in U.S. regulatory agencies especially those that do science based worked that affects the health and safety of the public.

  Hiring practices at our federal agencies need to be open and transparent. Cronyism should have known place in hiring and promotion practices particularly in U.S. regulatory agencies especially those that do science based worked that affects the health and safety of the public. We need to get rid of direct hire practices or make them open for all to see. Everyone should be able to see who applicants are/were and how they compared to one another. Individuals should not be hired on the basis of degree alone; several years of experience should carry the same weight as an advanced degree. The government should also not be hiring individuals with little or no experience at close to and including six figure salaries. Especially when there are other qualified applicants that are capable and willing to do the same job starting at lower salaries. There needs to be some type of exposure of the hiring practices in the federal government especially at our regulatory agencies to discourage and/or eliminate the favoritism and cronyism in both hiring and promotion practices.
