Mr Tobias referred to the NSPS pay pool process at "totally wrong." In the report it described the process as lacking transparency and unfair. I'm interested in his comments on two topics:

1. the transparency of the promotion and bonuses under the GS. Does that system not have the same problems?

2. Why should salary increase decisions be completely transparent...is it not a management responsibility?
