Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The actual percentage of federal civil servants who are fired annually due to poor job performance is much lower than 35 percent. It is a common misconception that a large number of government employees are terminated for performance reasons. In reality, the federal government has a relatively low termination rate for performance, with the majority of separations occurring for other reasons such as retirement, voluntary resignation, or reductions in force.
