I would like for performance metrics to relate to cash bonuses for Gov't employees. I am OK with a base pay but there should be management discretion and available funds for bonuses. There should be management incentives for cutting costs that result in direct compensation. It doesn't seem right that our government workers operate in what appears more like a communist system than a capitalistic. I think identifynig metrics with accountable results and performance incentives would greatly improve our whole system but especially advance a few areas such as IT.
