[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]

Consistently not showing up to work is one of the few things in federal government that is very easy to fire someone for. Assuming they're indicating that they are working and not teleworking on their timesheet on days they're not at their on-site duty station that's timecard fraud and is very easy to fire for.

And yes, theoretically it would be easier to fire people for incompetence without the previous protections, but your problem is that you're assuming that the current administration will be using the policy change to improve the function of federal agencies when there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that they will do that, and mountains of evidence that they will use the policy change to fire workers not slavishly loyal to Trump and the GOP. In essence, returning to the Spoils System that was the most corrupt and inefficient the federal government has ever been.  [/quote]
