Please help me wrap my fucking head around this. I am spun three way to Sunday over this.

I work for the US Govmint (Civilian Civil Service). An award system was instituted for emplyees to get monitary(money) awards based on their performance in a 12 month rating period.

How does a US govmint agency justify giving tax payer money (monitary award) to individuals that;

1. Fall alseep while on duty

2. No-show for work

3. Hit a pedestrian in a cross walk will responding, code 1, to a call and are found at fault.

4. Damage a govmint vehicles and are found at fault.

5. Show up late for work so many times they get a suspension.

6. Willfully violate SOP's.

7. Leave work with out informing supervision in a contact-relief environment.

Please someone explain this. US taxpayers respond. Others please comment too.

Thanks

Yes.

If you have people who are doing 3 and 4, it probably is a net benefit to the public to pay them an incentive to do 2.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Are these people in the Army?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

He said Civilian Civil Service.  But hey it would not surprise me the army had a Civilian Civil Service.  The government has funny stuff like that in it all the time.

The civilian service of the Navy?  They should get their own version of 'Anchor's Away' where they sing of commuting from the suburbs.

Am I to understand that not only did this courageous civilian sailor do these douchey things and keep his job he is getting a merit bonus of some sort?  Man I am working in the wrong bureaucracy  :(

Not just one person. These are indivdual(s). Each of the above is attached to a separte person.

Do they defraud their employer? Until they do (and get a bonus) I am not impressed.

Lawyer up and shake some money loose from the whistle blower tree.  :ph34r:

My guess is that person in charge of making the awards, in the interests of not pissing anyone off, just split the award money into equal slices.

Wouldn't people doing that stuff get bad reviews and no bonus money?
