I can tell you from personal experience that firing a Government employee is almost impossible, but it can be done.
The trick is documentation. You must document everything.
Write it down officially.
What usually happens with a bad employee is that they transfer that employee somewhere else so that they don’t have to deal with them. That just leaves someone else to deal with the problem.
Some agencies have a board filled with loads that more or less pass a judgement on whether the charge placed against the offender is legitimate. Legitimate or not they can dismiss charges. And they do. But document enough work
mistakes and they have to act. Sometimes they act by moving the person making the charges. It’s a bitter merry go round to get on.
Indeed! It would seem that any supervisor that would seriously log all incidents would not be considered a team player, and most likely, a rogue employee.
