Yep:

Worker who sent mistaken missile alert in Hawaii has been fired; had performance issues in the past. https://t.co/c82TUaCc34

“Performance issues”? Yeah, we suppose that’s one way of putting it.

BREAKING Hawaii authorities: Employee who sent erroneous missile alert had 10 years of performance issues and had confused real world and practice drills twice before.

Sounds like just the kind of person you want to handle jobs like nuclear-attack notification. https://t.co/6bgCXMDGGA

Hawaii’s Democratic Governor, who couldn’t tweet out corrective information because he didn’t know his password, seems like just the guy to root out this governmental incompetence. https://t.co/zqccF77JeI
