on the TSP website today, on the upper right hand side of the page at http://tsp.gov , they have started a web survey about the look of the site.

I went in, and on quesiton number 9, "What is the single thing you would do to improve the TSP website?" I put down "Give us more moves per month!!! "


I'm sure that's not what they wanted to hear, but I am putting it down anyway.

Go visit the site, and give the TSP your 2 cents worth!

p.s.- i'M SURE the TSP Thrift Board is paying a contractor big bucks to do this survey. Let them have it with all your feedback.

I believe we were played as the , "Straw man Fallacy".
A ploy to get more funds into the goverment hands!

I suggested that they post in dollar figures the exact cost of a web redesign for a site that is actually pretty easy to use. How much did it cost to fix something that works just fine thank you? I'm sure those numbers will be hidden in their administrative costs somehow. We'll get a report but by then their agenda will already be put into action.

The survey of futility. I know a big pile of fertilizer when I see it and smell it. Much like their "comments period" on the limitations.

Oh well, I didn't use any bad words so I guess they won't get that satisfaction.

Luv2,

I was lucky enough that my best friend is an HR person at another agency. She was able to steer me to the right publications and answer my occasional questions. Or I'd have been ****ed!

She says that most agency's HR departments have been consolidated and centralized until they can't keep up with the most basic demands. We probably won't see them having time to do education for years. She also says that OPM's official stance is that they've given us all the information in publications and a searchable website, so we should be able to educate ourselves.:(

We know how clear and understandable that information is!:confused:

I asked for at least a link to the basic FERS/CSRS information - found on an obscure link on the OPM pages of all places - because we need it to do retirement planning.

What's the point in educating ourselves and then not letting us use that knowledge? Damn hypocrites...

Did mine. Recommended "one-click/button" CAC access option to account transactions and info.
Oh... and to keep the "4-Eagles" icon.

I recommended that they include a blog site so that we can share ideas on how best to maximize our returns... Wait, we already have one of those that couldn't get any better... Thanks guys....

What we need to ask the TSP, is give us the ROTH option inside the TSP as many others in the private sector have.

I added my two cents. In the section on what I like about the current site I said "The new account numbers and passwords... just kidding, throw it all out. The only good thing is the simple url of tsp.gov"
