It actually might still be if there's a reasonable risk that at the end of things the result might still be highly unsatisfactory, e. g., an order that the lousy employee be given his job back with back pay. Sometimes with a really bad employee, like Harless, the most important thing can be that you can be sure that you'll be rid of him for good.
