Ability to Fire Federal Employees

Why Is This Idea Important?: If everyone knew that they had to perform in order to keep their job. well it only seems obvious that productivity and quality would skyrocket. You could stop recruiting people to do jobs that someone else should be doing but you cant fire them.

the ability to fire Federal employees. If you do not perform, you get fired. There are to many worthless federal employees that do nothing but get a paycheck. That paycheck comes from our taxes. It is bothersome the number of employees around me that are not able to do their job OR do not even show up for their job and yet they still get paid and still have a job.

    If you want to hold people accountable, then you should start with the Senior Executive Service and the political appointees. You can't expect to get top performance from people if their superiors routinely making poor decisions out of political convenience or in order to climb up the career ladder.

    Rules are in place giving Federal managers and leaders the ability to fire folks already. If a leader is not competent enough to use the current fair and equitable personnel system rules to terminate an employee, that is a leadership problem. Overall, Federal goverment performs well at most tasks. Americans are free, protected well from terror and other threats, and recieve basic services such as postal and infrastructure renewal that is quite adequate comparitively to other developed nations.

    Federal employees get a bad rap. Generally, Federal employees perform rather well.
