Letter: NSPS benefits some but hurts others

One reader says that when supervisors refuse to let employees take on additional responsibilities, those employees are unfairly penalized under NSPS

Regarding “DOD civilian workers to get performance paychecks tomorrow”: I certainly didn't fare better with NSPS, especially in the job I am in and never wanted to be in. I believe I am the victim of some sort of entrapment. The whole system went against me at the start.

I figure if an agency doesn't have a job I would be satisfied with or my supervisor doesn't want me to do more despite the many times I have requested more duties and mentioned that I have degrees, then I am the one who feels left out. How can a supervisor say that I am not going beyond what I am doing due to his or her refusal? I am the one who gets hurt over this. This also goes for applying for other jobs.

NSPS might benefit some people, but at the same time, it hurts others.
