 While "A" is good I vote for "B."  We need to learn
how to fire people because of poor performance.  We
should not have to look that hard.

Performance reviews are part of our everyday jobs. 
Maybe next time we will give our chief a contract that
lets him/her know that they are ordinary mortals just 
like the rest of us.  They just happen to have chosen
a profession where people carry guns and may shoot
back at them, but that doesn't make them any more
special in my eyes.  The key word is "CHOSE."

Ordinary mortals go off to the armed forces and fight
wars.  When they are dishonorably discharged do they
get hugely compensated for royally screwing up?  NOPE!

If the Mayor and/or City Council members screw up, do
they recieve compensation?  NOPE, they are out on
their butts.  

Do you see a pattern forming here?  GOOD!!!
