At my company, we have to keep a really well-documented paper trail before someone gets fired. We had one girl working here about 6 years ago from India - she had a masters degree from a respected university in computer engineering, an awesome GPA, had been a TA for several years, had sterling recommendations, and a stellar resume. She was solid gold on paper. Unfortunately, she was the most useless excuse for a programmer I've ever even HEARD of. One day I shall list her myriad fuckups, and no one will believe I'm being serious.
Anyways, we had a hard time getting rid of her. We had to show that she had been counselled, given a bunch of opportunities, and that complaints had been lodged from multiple people. We STILL couldn't fire her directly; the worst we could do was to refuse to let her work on our projects. She had to find a different project to charge to on her own, and when she couldn't find work, she was de facto fired.
Not sure how helpful that is to you, but it brought back memories. So if you ever get a resume from a woman named Renu Kedia, run like the motherfucking wind.
