[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A federal job is stable because the federal government has a system of merit system principles that means you can only be fired for poor job performance that can be proven or poor conduct that can be proven.   And someone will now post how they know someone with poor performance that could not be fired from a federal position.  But I can tell you, that as someone who practices federal personnel law, that it is nor true that people can’t be fired from the federal government.  They just cannot be fired arbitrarily.

In the private sector your are generally at at-will employee which means you can be fired for any reason or no reason at all (other than a reason that would violate a law, such as discrimination).[/quote]

So true. In fact, if you are a Federal whistleblower or have filed a discrimination or sexual harassment complaint then you can indeed be fired as a means of retaliation. So you are a lawyer, working for a Federal agency?  If you are then lawyers just like you (paid for by the taxpayers) will look for any minor infraction a way to build a case against a complainant.  Since MSPB and EEOC are now virtually toothless, it's a slam dunk for you!

There's so much incorrect information in the PP, but I don't have the energy to try to correct it.
