I guess so.

Although there is that strange virtual house-arrest thing going on there...

It's extremely difficult to fire black people in government jobs.

Cunningham's case is complicated and his story can get convoluted. But it is clear, based on public records, that he has been at odds with his boss, Andrew Adams, the associate labor commissioner for human resources, for several years.

They don't even lose elections.

When did we get to vote for or against Health Care reform?

 

[Truthmatters]

Sano said he has never seen a case like Cunningham's in 40 years of working with public officials.

So, how many cases has Sano seen?

Over 40 years I'd expect he might have missed more than a few public officials' cases.

Haha. And even then you've got to be careful for fear of being called a racist. It's even tough in the private sector to fire a protected class, which includes blacks and now gays. Ever tried to do it? It's a major hassle.

can I say "black" without being called a racist?

Concept: Those not working on or completing their primary duties as defined in their job descriptions should be reassigned or fired.

When I worked for the government, I witnessed where a Black person screwed up and should have been fired, the person was promoted to a higher level just to get him out of that section. Seen it several times go down like that, when I asked why, I was told it was easier doing that then getting rid of the person.
Is that reverse racist, or what?

 

[boedicca]

Race isn't the issue. It's the entitlement attitude of public employees, especially when fueled by unions. We have far too many of them, and their productivity in general is abysmal.

I have a friend who does temp sysad work. When he interviewed for an assignment for Social Security, one of the question he was asked is:

"How do you feel about working in a place where the full time employees sit around playing computer games all day?"

And this is why we have huge budget deficit.
