popdaddy • 16 hours ago This 2,000 former staffers, officials, attorney generals sure has a way of sticking it's head out of a hole. Funny how the names/credits are interchangeable.
AG Barr should just let them know their ranks will be growing but the new ones will be wearing orange prison attire.
etbass popdaddy • 16 hours ago I just be glad to start with one wearing prison orange. All the corruption and illegal activities and not one has been to prison. Not one.
Apparently treason, abuse of power, falsifying documents, leaking, collusion, etc. are all less serious than cutting hair in defiance of an executive order.
jbaustian • 16 hours ago The problem is that career bureaucrats cannot be fired without cause. And even when there is justification, it would take years to fire each one.
emptypockets jbaustian • 7 hours ago There are other things than firing them, things like transferring them to the equivalent of a closet--a dead end. They may stay and hope to tough it out till the next dem rescues them but many will "self deport" for those revolving-door greener pastures of the interconnected crony-capitol of the nation.
gbenton jbaustian • 12 hours ago Welp, the answer may lie in that phrase 'without cause'.
Methinks if they are indicted for leaking and other malfeasance, their otherwise secure job will go poof. Especially if they are offered plea deals to rat out superiors in exchange for lenience and getting the F out of dodge.
I'm not trying to minimize the task, but if these idiots hadn't been so arrogant and if the powers of the government were not so vast in terms of surveillance and paper trail, it might be a lot harder to root them out.
But they've done us the kindness of exposing themselves. I'm guessing they'll regret that a lot before this is over.-
tonysc Laocoon • 14 hours ago I had a former teacher that became a good friend and because he was a union steward in the early years of the movement he got a briefing by the union on firing teachers. He explained that firing a teacher, when done correctly, was impossible to overturn.
He also explained that the problem is that most of the school's administration were too lazy or incompetent to do the documentation process the right way. And... because it was 'too hard' and they wouldn't do their jobs it gradually became the myth that you couldn't fire teachers.
Doing your job as a manager or leader, even in the best of environments, is always a challenge doing it when the rules are stacked against you takes a hardy soul indeed.
VWNorthwest tonysc • 8 hours ago You have no idea how true this is. This is part of the erosion of basic competence at all levels in government over the last decade or two.tonysc VWNorthwest • 4 hours ago I have some small idea of how true it is, I've worked in some of the largest private bureaucracies in this country (they masquerade as titans of industry) and I've seen this work, especially at the leadership levels.
I might add, it's not been a fun journey as I went through one after another with not just line-like employees not being winnowed out early but management too.
I suspect that, just in the private sector, the cost of that inability to do their jobs (especially in management) is likely that the economy is only 1/2, 1/3, or less the size of the size that it should be.VWNorthwest tonysc • an hour ago I've been in both the private and public sectors.
One difference is that in the private sector my bos was making 100-150k more than me. In the public sector its about 15-20k. This changes the dynamics regarding who wants promotion. Many in public service see their 'peers' in the private sector earning substantially more than them and they're envious.
This leads to powertripping like we see with the Russia fiasco.
