FDIC Asks Congress for Separate Personnel Authority

From centralized to complete chaos

FDIC as with other federal agencies, already have the tools and authorities to successfully recruit, place, develop and promote "the best and brightest". The problem is the lack of experienced personnelists in federal personnel rules, regulations, exceptions, etc. Agencies now have what they wanted by obtaining delegated authorities from what once was a efficient and effective civil service system. This has resulted in a maze of personnel variations and practices throughout the government involving the same rules and regulations! These involve job seekers, increased EEO complaints, congressional inquiries and increase level of inquiries to the OPM from both employees and agencies than ever before. This is not going unnoticed and recently heard talk about the need to streamline and reform these practtices into an efficient and uniformed approach. Remember the good ole days?

Oh Boy!! I worked for these FDIC quasi feds some years ago and know that they don't even follow the current OPM regulations at all!! Giving them autonomy is ridiculous. They need to go the other way. Most folks don't know that most FDIC employees are former Bankers who lost their jobs when their Saving and Loans went bust!! Fortunately for them, the Feds had a nice Agency waiting to employ them. They already have given themselves a 10% pay raise over all other Fed employees and an additional 401K benfit that no other Fed employee gets. now they want more?? Get Real..

Most current FDIC employees are examiners, and very few examiners are former employees of failed banks. Most examiners were recruited right out of college. The failed bankers of which you speak mostly went into the liquidation and resolutions divisions during the 90's as term employees. There's not much liquidation and resolutions activity now, so most of those guys are long gone.
