I was in a situation where it went NOTICED for months but the managers were too scared to fire him (a contractor so should have been easy) because there was some 'HR mess-up' that they were very cagey with details on.

Depending on the situation, subcontractors can also be extra hard to fire. If they were hired to fill out staff on a contract, they may be entitled to some kind of workshare percent and threaten breach of contract if you pull their terrible people off work without a replacement. Then they fail to produce a replacement in a timely fashion.
