I mostly agree, but I don't think that it's just a matter of money. Money is a way to motivate people - but for lots of people, the ability to work on a system that will cause a huge improvement in the lives of hundreds of millions of people is reward enough. However, nothing saps motivation more than pointless credentialism and bureaucracy.
- nickff 11y agoWhile I agree that the process for hiring should be better than "pointless credentialism", it must also be highly selective, or else the increased salaries will go to the same people, resulting increased costs and unchanged results.

- shardinator 11y agoPerhaps there could be a "expert panel" of external people who can be called up to at least give input into hiring gov employees. Perhaps you can have two hiring panels - internal and external. When they agree, hire the person. Of course this raises the question of who hires the "expert panel".
