Software development is not a ponzi scheme. Employees that sabotage new employees suck. Making yourself 10x more productive than the average by making everyone else 0.1x as productive as you is not in the best interest of the company. Feeding a self-perpetuating circle of unethical sabotaging losers is not in the best interest of the company. It's cancer that needs to be extirpated as soon as possible and made an example of by firing them to the sound of a trumpet. Hire people that see their job as something more than a paycheck. Hire people that care. Hint: people that talk about their weekend, past-times, vacations, cars, etc., and change topics or moods when engaged with work related challenges, are people that are most likely checked out. Those are the people that won't care and will drown your company in their ego.
