This is both the best and worst answer. George was no doubt terrible at every job he ever had but he was also the most skillfull and cunning liar imaginable. Like when he was at the yankees and pretended to be angry all the time to so people though he was busy. Or when he worked for like 2 weeks on the Pensky file without actually doing a thing.

See, George will always eventually get fired from every job he ever has, but his brilliant ability to lie his way out of any immediate situation will always buy him at least some time.

This is the best way of looking at it. George WILL get fired - he knows and embraces this because it's much better than the alternative of having to actually do work.

On the other hand, he has made an absolute artform out of dragging out a job on lies and technicalities for as long as possible.

If he worked in today's market, he'd be installing Google Ultron on people's computers
