On the government employees getting fired...

But the problem is you've got several million coworkers spread across a few thousand departments, all with various levels of issues, and it sounds like on the bell curve of usefulness/productivity you are over on the right side of the curve. - Larry Correia 

• So I told him about the GS I knew who tried to put 250 people out of work and bankrupt a good company because she refused to admit she'd done some paperwork wrong... Afterwards she got PROMOTED.
• Or the federal agent I personally dealt with who knowingly perjured himself to a judge to get an illegal search warrant, even though there were a bunch of witnesses to confirm he'd already found the items he was claiming to be looking for. The judge was furious. But the agent didn't get fired or prosecuted. They just transferred him to a different office where he hadn't offended the local judges.

 Are there lots of awesome government employees who do good work. Yes. 

Are lots of good folks going to get caught up in these mass cutting of the necrotic flesh? Yep. Does that suck?  Yep. 

Same as all the mass lay offs the rest of us have gone through during our lives out in the regular world, that sure does hurt. 

But sadly our time for gentle careful cuts is past, the scalpel will no longer do, and it is axe and TQ time before the patient dies...
