ZERO
You are invited to guess the number of senior executives who will be fired between now and the end of the year, 12/31/2014.
Contest Note: The bill also provides that fired executives will be eligible for a 21 day, unpaid appeal process. Those fired, and who successfully win back their jobs on appeal, WILL NOT COUNT. Thus, you could pick, for example, 5, and 3 might win appeals. The correct number is therefore 2.
TIE BREAKER: As we are likely to have more than one correct answer, the tie breaker question is: How many rounds of golf will Obama play between now and the end of this year?
Zero. They will all be allowed to retire, or resign so they can pursue other government employment.
None.
I expect the ones fired by previous administrations will be rehired with back pay.
Is this a trick question?
Zero.
I win, I win...... I win.
Sadly we all lose.
Zero,none,nada.Do you intend to count resignations too,some may resign just to take a similar job elsewhere in government.
Zero. FedGov drones never get fired.
Mr. Ed could count high enough
97% +/- 3%
You are going to have to define “senior executive”.
There are lots of coat-holders and hangers-on stashed at the VA after they have failed at higher-priority tasks, and some of them have impressive titles.
It will take a few months to make the arrangements for a new position for the one who will take the fall.
675.
It appears whoever wrote this headline had a problem with auto-correct.
Somehow the word “promoted” got changed to “fired”.
I would guess that eight VA executives will be promoted.
Also I predict that some clever Democrat operative will start combining fundraisers with rounds of golf, perhaps offering the opportunity to play a round of golf with the big guy for 100K. At that point Obama will never be seen at the White House again.
Since it is a government organization it is filled with bureaucrats who spend their days figuring out how to game the system for their financial advantage.
Bonus pay takes precedence over anything else because it is how they get around civil service pay-grades
And health of the patients comes AFTER money for bonuses
They will find 1 person who is 2 days from retirement and fire them.
The media will play it all up to make Obama appear to be doing something about it. All for show of course.
Zero.
Tie breaker: 97.
None and any convicted of criminal wrong doing will be pardoned by Obama.
Are you kidding me? If this bill goes thru, they will hire 20% more than they have now and nothing will change.
12 new hires on top of no fires
Fired? Hell, these senior execs will now be elevated to White House senior positions for the stellar work they did at the VA.
ZERO
