Well, it takes a village..except in DC where it seems it takes an acto fo congress tofire a fed. One reason we are mired in this mess. I think AR may have tried to get one fired in the 40's and maybe that was her inspiration....

    How well I remember. The civilian version is found in education. Those that cannot do - teach. Those that cannot teach -administrate. those that cannot administrate become University Professors of Education. Those that can't cut it go to work for Department of Education and the State then Federal Levels.

    Coupled with...

    If you were walking by the lakeshore and saw a local educator drowning do you know what steps to take to save them?

    You don't!

    Good.

    Well, that was clearly stated! I agree with your premise, but they will never give up, the kind of people who gravitate to their brood love to impose their ethics, morals and beliefs on everyone else, and do not care one bit about the impact. Something that seems to have become common procedure throughout all levels.

    If EPA bureaucrats spent their time on ordinary pornography we would be a lot better off. Agencies like EPA, NPS, etc. are run and inhabited by viro ideologues there to hijack the power of government agencies to impose their own misanthropic nihilistic nature worship.

    Their entrenchment is protected in the "civil service", which is why it is practically impossible to get rid of them. Political appointees who could be removed by the following administration transfer to the civil service to protect themselves.

    When the top SES bureaucrats (Senior Executive Service) are caught in scandals, the bureaucracy closes ranks and rewards them with raises and promotions in compensation for their "suffering" at the hands of those who expose them. It would be better if they did spend their time on ordinary pornography instead of their ant-private property rights agenda that is so unjust in trampling citizen's civil rights that it is pornographic at a new and lower level of depravity.

    In Oregon, that is almost a curse word. The state wor...employees have got such a ratchet around state government, they re-elected a clear criminal, just so he could immediately resign to escape prosecution, and we have an un-elected governor for 4 years, who will be elected and reelected. So we have the same person for 12 years now. What a deal, and all because they promise to never reform the super rich retirement system the little piggy people live on here. Between retired state wor..employees and current ones, they form an unassailable block with unions to ensure true socialism means they get all the money they can steal, and only have to show up for something, somewhere..maybe. And of course, vote Dumbocrap every time. A large rat could be elected in Oregon, as long as it is a registered Dumbocrap rat..come to think of it, I think they do.

    Can't say, but this song has been sung for the last 40-50 years I have been around. Never happens, as they are almost a self sustaining form of bacteria, just as id duplicated in 50 states and DC/PR. Is it any-wonder we blow trillions now instead of billions?

    And an HR one for offending the women, boys girls, dogs cats and turtles involved. That just illustrates why the looters need to loot us so hard and so often, this is just what escapes the turd filters, imagine what really goes on....

    One reason we had a shuttle blow up. No one wanted to question an issue with seals everyone knew about, even in Morton Thiokol they didn't. Another object lesson none of the idiots learned from.

    The military has had that program for 40 years or so. We used to say turds float to the top of the cesspool and it usually matched performance.

    It is just not a good feeling to know he is the best of the best. Overall, the quality indicator seems stuck on .1 on a scale of 10 for all their offerings from both gangs of thieves.

    The whole "HR" thing is a racket from the get go. I have not met an "HR" person, who was actually human. I stay away from them like the plague, and working nights is one way to do it..they apparently do not come out after dark.

    I am not sure there is even that caveat. I rank the process just below killing cockroaches in permenancy and speed.

    Yes he did, but I believe the Justice department fought lawsuits for 20 years afterwards, maybe still are....

    We know that from our experience, I find a lot of people think that Feds are as subject to some kind of performance requirement as the rest of the real world. I have had people tell me "No, you must be wrong, you can fire anyone for cause", and I give up, believing they probably also vote for HillaryBeast....

    Reagan managed to get rid of thousands of them in one go, AND bar them from re-employment by the Feds. It's only a start, but it may be the most important thing he ever accomplished.

    Fired does not always mean what you think it means. Go back to the union hall and get sent out again sometimes to the same job site. In government there are so many ways around a firing it's a wonder we don't have people from WWI still working. Did you run a counseling program. Yes. Did the individual respond. Yes. Then the program starts over. Weight Control with Ethnic exceptions and then equal opportunity etinic exceptions. A good lawyer can keep a few thousand bad government employees working for a full career plus and then claim damages.

    It would seem that the "HR" process was a progressive/communistic union invention to protect those that inhabit the Kakistocracy. The "good ole boy" criminal protection business.

    ---Sure is a "Troubled Inheritance" pun intended.

    But the odds are not that good... it's far worse, something like buying a lottery ticket. The story are the odds that they are fired "after misconduct" - not the odds of being fired for being a do-zero / do-nothing like everyone else. You pretty much have to steal something of significant value, or shoot someone in the office to be labeled as a 'misconduct' case. Then you have those 1 & 275 or whatever odds of actually being fired after that.

    Even with 1/500 odds, since there are nearly 3 million executive branch employees, the total number fired would still be in the vicinity of 5000 per year.

    Never having had to fire a federal employee, I can’t say for certain just how hard it would be, but I would bet a single Federal Reserve Note that it would be extremely difficult to downright impossible—especially if they are of a politically-correct people group and/or sex.
