collar really, I think, has little to do with it. There are morons in all walks of life.
I think the original question really is not answerable in a hard-and-fast rule. Sometimes people get fired that could be turned into model employees if the administration was a little better. Other times they get fired because no matter what people do to try to put them on the right path, they just insist on failure.
At a station I worked at way back in the days of steam-powered television, we had a reporter who could never meet her deadline, could not learn how to interview people, and would therefore skip important questions and only realize when she was writing that the question needed to have been asked, at which point she would then assume (read: make up) what the answer to the question would have been, any time she had to go live was a guaranteed embarrassing disaster. We worked with her. I went in the field with her for a month straight trying to show her how to do this job, and she Just. Couldn't. Get it. So finally, we fired her. That wasn't a failure of management. That was a failure of her.
Long story short - Halx gave an example of failure of management - here's an example of failure of employee. . . there is no hard and fast rule.
