Reply to comment by Sukkit74 in PA State/Gov’t Workers: What is it like? Any tips for me? by doccopham178

I disagree with this. Also the idea that you can't get fired if you work the state is garbage. I have seen plenty of people get terminated for poor performance. It does take awhile, and your supervisors have to follow through with paperwork. But it absolutely happens.

I never said you can’t get fired, I said if you work you won’t have a problem.

I've seen one person get fired and it was an eight-month process.

Yea. I have seen people get fired. But usually what happens is that close to the end of the process the employee leaves without actually getting terminated. But a few times they have stayed on thinking the union would save them.
