What's the cost to team morale when the team members have to put in extra time to meet deadlines because the team is shorthanded? What's the cost to the company when the team doesn't have the bandwidth to take on work and projects start slipping? How does team culture fare when someone on the team always finds some reason to reject every candidate they see, and this continues for weeks or months on end? What is the loss of productivity from having to conduct all these extra interviews until just the right person walks through the door?
The answers to both sets of questions are very situational, yet some people treat them as if they have universal answers.

If an engineer on my team got fired, no matter how much they deserved it, I'd probably start looking for a new job or team immediately. The fear of being let go isnt something I'd ever want to deal with.
