Arguments Against ' On the other hand, opponents of the system, particularly those who favor sticking with the patronage way, contend: ONE: Too much job security makes employees too independent of the administrative officials over them, crimps policy action. TWO: Under the merit system, determination of qualifications and | selection of eligibles is out of the! hands of the department where they eventually must work. THREE: Merit has failed to provide sufficient help during times]

SIX: The unswerving loyalty necessary to. knit a department into an efficient unit of government is too often lacking where empolyees are assured of their jobs by law.” SEVEN: Because political appointees know their job depends on the success of an administration, they work extra” hard to do a job that is pleasing”to the public. EIGHT: The merit system encourages “packing.” That is, one administration, choosing from eligibility lists, still may be able to appoint many loyal”members of own party.
