Sure, maybe, but what a competent manager does, in any business, is make these decisions and get buy-in from key decision makers _before_ hiring the guy.
Have you never seen a new hire that got past management and team reviews, and then in their first weeks turned out to be a bad idea? You never really know what you got until they've been on the job with you for a while.

This doesn't seem to be the case here though. There were no "first weeks". The guy was fired as soon as the White House got wind of the hire. It doesn't appear to be an issue of competency; rather it's an issue of loyalty to Trump.
Obviously we aren't expecting a merit hire from the current administration; but this seems like a weird move even by their low standards of thuggish demands for compliance and sniveling loyalists. Hegseth is having a tantrum over anthropic allegedly getting in the way of the DoD fulfiling his fantasies of masculine adequacy; so you fire the guy who left anthropic to work for you?
Isn't the whole point of treating any differences of opinion as personal insults to be dealt with regardless of their legality,
Anyone stupid enough to take a job working for the trump administration almost deserves a punch in the face.
Seems more like a punch in the face for someone who worked at Anthropic.
The admin seems happy with someone coming from academia who also has prior governmental experience.
To be fair, someone coming from academia seems a better choice to me.
