Yes, it’s true. Even if you remove the bad hires after six months, that’s six months of wasted mentoring effort and six months of of not being able to fill that position with someone who can do better. That’s also six months that the bad hire’s coworkers have to put up with a bad employee on their team. They’re going to wonder if bad hires are the new norm and take it as a sign that it’s time for them to move on. Bad hires have a lot of ripple effects. Most employees aren’t isolated islands within a company. Their coworkers suffer the most.
