[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't read the article, but does it mean it will be easier to remove people from the federal workforce for incompetence or consistently not showing up to work?[/quote]

It's already easy to do if you follow the rules. Both agencies I've worked at had very active unions and employee populations who knew their rights and filed a lot of lawsuits for HR-related claims. They almost always lost. And, ftr, we suspending, disciplined, and fired lots of people. The idea that that doesn't happen is a myth.

I was litigation counsel on these cases, so I have first had experience over the last 25 years and can speak to this directly.

I retired after Trump was re-elected. [/quote]
That makes two of us. People who make spurious claims about the inability to terminate employees for poor performance are typically lazy supervisors who refused to take the requisite steps to document, with examples, of the employee’s poor performance. It was easier for the supervisors to just give a “meet expectations” on the performance evaluations. [/quote]

I agree with you that is it generally a leadership failure.  And it is also really difficult for military commanders whose assignments are often 2 years or less to work through the process when their civilian employees know every possible delaying tactic.  This leads to really dysfunctional workplaces.  [/quote]
These types of workers are not the ones affected by Schedule F.[/quote]
