Court: Feds with "lifetime tenure" can be fired for cause

Somebody’s lifetime gig on the government payroll has come to an end after a bitter court battle, setting up what may become precedent for similar challenges in the future. The court case in question was heard at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and it involved a scientist who had been employed at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Allen Braun was a research doctor working there who was dismissed for failing to correctly perform his duties in 2015. Braun objected and attempted to have his dismissal reversed, with his primary argument boiling down to a tantrum in which he claimed he couldn’t be fired in that fashion because he had “lifetime tenure.” The court disagreed with him.

Disgusting, Part 1: This case has been in process for some 6 years. Have taxpayers paid this incompetent all that time? Hopefully not!

Disgusting, Part 2: This case was not laughed out of every court it went to?! In the real world, at-will employment means incompetents get fired.

Lifetime tenure?

For a government job?

One, it should NEVER happen.   Every day on the taxpayer payroll should be a test of the employee's fitness to remain on it. 

Two,

Actually, there is no Two.   Do the job or get fired.    Government tenure is disgusting, and that includes all teachers.    Cops are productive member of society, unlike most teachers.   Cops don't have lifetime tenures.
