You are making the calculation at a point in time. What if the 'bad' developer is on a fast growth curve and in only a few months time will be a net gain for the company?
- greglindahl 10y agoA developer on a fast growth curve generally responds well to corrective action: hey, let's work together to make you a winner in our environment, instead of the person whose bugs are caught by your coworkers. I've had successes and failures trying this strategy.
- rokosbasilisk 10y agoI work as a contractor for a bunch of local businesses and I think I can safely say, companies absolutely hate taking that kind of risk. A bad developer or hire can produce bad work, be an hr nitemare and also destroy team dynamics.
