It may be unreliable critical functionality, or unreliable test. In some cases it's obvious which one it is, in some it isn't. If you know it's the test, it becomes much less beneficial to spend days on it.

I didn't say fire, didn't I, I said "show you the dor", like, get out from my office :P
And seriously, if you fire someone for having a strong opinion, you should remind yourself that even little kids tollerate a far worse behavior.
This is a pretty polar opinion right here - it's not a flaky test that fails once a week, it's unreliable critical functionality. If I were _your_ lead and you told me you fired someone because they spent two months on something, I'd probably fire you for not knowing what your team are doing for two months.
