Some people can get away with absolutely anything. It's like a natural gift that some folks are born with. They can talk their way out of any situation; they can befriend anyone in an instant. It's a wonder to watch people like this work their magic. But if they happen to be your irritating coworker who seems unfireable, that's a whole different story.
It seems like a lot of people who are immune to being let go are nepo-babies. These are the children of nepotism: they're the grown adults with no life experience who suddenly find themselves as the VP of their parent's company, just so they can earn a nice salary while doing almost nothing. But if your parent runs the company, it's easy to sit back, put your feet up, and not learn a single thing about the job. Then that leads to these people missing deadlines, undermining the work, or even just being a tattle-tale about the other workers in the building.
Other workers just made a few devastating mistakes, but somehow managed to keep their jobs! It seems that some managers are much more forgiving than others, and sometimes people are given way too many chances to prove themselves before getting shown the door.
