Federal Job Security: Bureaucracy

A high-ranking employee at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been accused of watching porn for up to six hours a day at work, since 2010. Although investigators discovered 7,000 pornographic files on his computer, the EPA still cannot fire the man, currently on paid leave.

Employees have a right to appeal a termination, with the process dragging on for years.

Bureaucratic rules make it next to impossible to sever contracts with bad employees, including those who have committed serious violations.

Congressman Jason Chaffetz said that legislation will be passed to circumnavigate such bureaucracy, including those dealing with "these specific things, like pornography."
