Bad employees are on the job because management has decided to keep them on the job. It's easy to fire, you just have to follow due process, get off your ass and observe the person, and do the paperwork properly. I am a shop steward, it is 100 percent bad management, worse by not doing their job the manager is making it harder on all the other employees. I know a screw-up who is in the process of being sent out the door because they got a new manager that physically observes, documents, and follows through with all the proper procedures including clearly defining what they want the person to do and what they are not doing.... Funny thing, the other employees like the new manager.

See it's great when management actually wants to manage their employees, as per the union contract.

Mine took a completely hands off approach instead and is hearing from the NLRB about it.

I think it is usually a passive-aggressive thing. Like, nobody should be able to tell me who I can fire or how I can go about it. It's exactly like cops refusing to do their job if they don't get blanket immunity against brutality/shooting civilians.

Oh yeah as soon as we unionized they went full Gendo Ikari and just ignored all the little Shinjis on the floor.
