Uhhh.... how?

Lawyers can be disbarred. Doctors can lose their licenses. But how,
precisely, would you kick someone out of the TW profession?
(Especially when there are some companies out there who have junior
developers or admin assistants write their docs.) How exactly would
you enforce that someone would never be allowed to write a manual
again? What's to stop a clueless company from hiring them?
