If someone is doing something bad to you at work, then you shouldn't have to quit. They should be fired.

Of course, federal workers can't be fired, no matter how bad their behavior is.

Fire some government employees

June 10, 2004

There is simply no accountability for government employees. Once they have a job, it's practically a job for life. Almost no one ever gets fired from a federal government job. The statistics are staggering.

According to the Office of Personnel Management, only one in 5,000 non-defense workers get fired annually for poor performance.

From 1984 through 2001 – a period of 17 years – of 28,000 employees in the State Department, only six were fired for poor performance. Yet, I think we could safely eliminate the entire department and not lose a step as a nation.

Only one person was fired from the entire Education Department in 2001. Only two were fired in the entire Transportation Department that year. Only two were fired from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

In all the federal bureaucracies combined in 2001, only 434 employees were fired – and that was higher than the annual average. That 434 figure represents a negligible 0.02 percent of all federal government employees.
