Turning the decision to fire someone into a hyper-formalized procedure mostly seems to result in environments where terrible people never get fired, like the DMV.

- google234123 5y agoOne bad person can ruin a team and cause good people to leave. See California where it can take 5 years to fire a bad teacher and 100000s of dollars.
- spaetzleesser 5y agoSame for me in New Mexico two weeks ago. I had an appointment and had a new license and license plates within 25 minutes. It was an excellent experience. There was a guy next to me who hadn’t read about the required paperwork and tried to argue. His experience probably wasn’t great but that was his own fault.
- veganhouseDJ 5y agoThe DMV is an outdated example. I remember decades ago standing in line literally for 3 hours to finally get to talk to the person at the desk only to be told I had the wrong form. Then back to the end of the line. I honestly can't think of anything that has improved as much in my lifetime as the DMV.
- lmm 5y agoOnly if the organisation is thoroughly incompetent, and in that case it's already a terrible place to work. Of course it's possible to put too much bureaucracy around firing people, but the correct amount is not zero.
- spaetzleesser 5y agoFrom my casual observation it’s rare that terrible or incompetent people get fired but politically not well connected people.
