Shocked

It can be very difficult to fire someone these days.

People tend to sue or threaten to. It may be that the "big" boss has no choice!

At the HMO I worked at in the past, our intake person was making the most horrible errors, over and over. Some were life threatening. My supervisor kept all of them in a file, and finally fired her. There were hundreds of errors in that file over a short time frame! She sued the HMO and there was a trial even!
It was a huge big deal! In the end the judge gave her what for and she lost her bid. (she was close to retirement, and she lost that too-- she should have gone out on disability because of her health issues).

The stress on us and the supervisor and all the time taken to document and attend the trial was huge!
