[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is bizarre that the myth that it is hard to fire people has become a truth. We fire people on my team who cannot perform. It isn’t hard. It does take the effort to document but it can and is done today by good supervisors.[/quote]

Yes. I have seen multiple people fired in my agency. And also seen how hard it can be to fire people in private sector, for regular business/personality reasons that have nothing to do with job protections. I think most of DCUM has a pretty weak grasp of how people get actually fired for cause (vs laid off) in any job.

Overall, the percent of people being fired in the federal government was much lower than in the private sector. Of course there will be in variation in both by organization.

But this isn't going to change that because it's a fairly small group of people and the firings will be political, not performance related. [/quote]

Much lower?

.5% vs 1.5%[/quote]

A quarter of the rate of the private sector. If you want to argue that it's a third of the rate, that's still much lower.
