What I want to know if if she resigned and was immediately re-hired at another cushy high-paying government job. In other words a transition with no financial consequences whatsoever. The correct consequence is that this woman ought to be kicked out on her ass, lose her pension and go out there in the open market to find a non-government job matching her degree of incompetence.
To a large extent firings or layoffs in government amount to shuffling people around rather than what most would conclude from such a headline.
How many additional OPM's and Healtcare.gov's do we have to witness before people revolt and demand excellence out of government?
Today we seem to be content with the idea that government operates at precisely the opposite end of the scale, a place where a range of behaviors from sucking at your job to lying and criminal behavior seem to be considered virtues. And what's worst, there are no consequences for being utterly incompetent, lying or acting criminally?
The breach wasn't the problem. The problem is how fucked government is at nearly every level. That's what needs fixing.
