It is not just Education. I think it is in every branch of government.
“Dave Eggers reports on the groundbreaking science work being done at the famed Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and so on.”
While JPL is owned and funded by NASA, it is managed by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and its employees are technically Caltech employees.
I know a few government employees that were fired for cause. Don’t want to give too many details, but one that comes to mind management managed to get rid of but couldn’t (a two pointer). Then she turned on the union and started threatening them. When the union starts filing unfair labor practices complaints about an employee that management wants to get rid of, good things can happen.
It's their fault. Once covid was on its way out, they should have returned to office ASAP. They failed to do that.
It’s damn near impossible to fire a federal employee but not impossible. You can go the documented route but that takes forever. I found it was easier to make their life miserable and found that they’d quit or move somewhere else but giving a bad recommendation usually helped on the latter.

For every good federal bureaucrat, there are 10 seat warmers drawing a fat check for doing basically nothing.
"Effective tomorrow morning, every Federal agency has a 10% reduction in their budget. That 10% will be immediately applied to the Federal deficit in an attempt to slow the runaway spending by Congress. If agency directors find they cannot provide the same, or higher, levels of service with this reduced budget, I will find a replacement who can. Have a nice day."
Doesn’t Congress set the budget?
I believe so.
And now they have only themselves to blame for their predicament.
They took advantage of Joe Biden so they could stay at home and do nothing but still collect paychecks.
Yes, and I don’t know if legally he could do that, but I’d still like to see it!
I used to live in northern Virginia and teach in FCPS. There are not enough decades left or paper available for me to list everything wrong there. ... Starting with the bloated, arrogant, agenda driven bureaucracy to the sanctuary encrusted status of the non English speaking illegals. I retired and moved. Best decision of my life!
Reference for later.
DEI never taught the idiots anything about accountability.
When I was transferred to another work section, I worked my butt off and they appreciated it. But I was talking to an enlisted member and they agreed with me that there were too many workers in their department, and not enough work for them all to remain busy 8 hours a day like they were supposed to. They even went so far to say that if four of those workers were fired they could easily pick up the work and get it done in short order.
So yes, there is bloat in the system that needs to be excised. But yes, there are those who work hard.
And yes, I used the words "they, their" to protect their identity and gender because that person is very trustworthy and honest.
Probably for the first time ever in their lives.
Suck it up, guys.
That’s real life.
I do that, too.
You're not alone.
