[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The funny thing is, this rule solves nothing. Managers are still going to be risk adverse about firing anyone. They’ll still be sued, accused of discrimination, etc etc (in their personal capacities too). The agency may eventually win, but only after a real pain in the butt for mgmt. [/quote]

THIS. So imagine you’re a manager (or even agency head), and you have 2 choices with how to deal with an employee who isn’t “sufficiently enthusiastic toward the cause”:

Option A: fire him and point to Schedule F, and then deal with all the lawsuits, allegations of discrimination, etc.

Option B:  just sideline him and let him sit in the office and be quiet. (sorta like what currently happens).

I’m going with option B. Why do I care? It’s not my money. I don’t get paid based on how much money I save. I don’t have a P&L. Path of least resistance.

This whole thing is just academic fodder for the increasingly irrelevant heritage faction. [/quote]

there is an Option C: (which I see more often), you find out what they are good at even if it is below their current grade level and you give them that job and they do it well. [/quote]
