GS firings
As a squadron commander, I got a civil servant fired. Shortly thereafter, the other one I was trying to rehabilitate or discharge elected to retire early.
I started the process by going to the union reps on base. Their response was, “Oh yeah, we’ve known those two were worthless for a long time? You want to know how to get them removed from service? Ok then, let’s sit down and discuss the process”.
My next visits were to the Civilian Personnel Office and the JAG to verify what the union told me. It took about 5 months and a little extra time documenting their failure to perform the duties of their job description.
Both were replaced with fantastic people.
