Did you read the entire article with the examples of the ridiculousness of what it takes to fire someone? Doesn't appear you did....
This article is too good not to post on FR. Please feel free to ping others.
And there is no 52 word limit on such articles, and there are multitudes of briefs of articles on FR every few hours to peruse, and judge whether they are worth opening up a new page, often enduring ads, thus rather than stopping without providing even a explanation, a brief explanation would help:
In the 1970s, two centuries into the American republic’s hiring and firing of employees, the Supreme Court suddenly found that bureaucrats had a property interest in their jobs and could not be fired without due process of law. The absurd result has made unelected bureaucrats unaccountable to democratic rule...
bureaucrats enjoy extraordinary protections against being fired once they have completed their first year. Such an employee may remain on the job for 170 days after his superiors have decided to fire him. You might think his job then ends, but you’d be wrong. Once a bureaucrat is fired, he can appeal his termination, a process that takes an average of 243 days to complete. In 2015, only 0.2 percent of the federal workforce was let go — that’s two out of every 1,000 employees.
I’m a state employee. You complain about the diversity committee or complain about Kwanza or point out that we couldn’t talk about Christmas but we could talk about Ramadan and you will find yourself on the street.
