My daughter was an unpaid fellow for two years with the Federal Government. She traveled with a Diplomatic passport and some times an armed escort. She was an expert in her field. The majority of the employees she work with were excellent but there were a number that in her opinion were not compent in the area they worked in. Reassigning or firing a mismatched employee seems to be hard and hiring compent employees can also be difficult as there are a number of rules that do not apply to competency that you have to consider in making the hiring decision. Hopefully the rules will change to allow for the termination of employees that are not adequately performing and to hire the best qualified employee for the job.
