The point is that even for boring work (e.g. a janitor) it’s better to hire one really good worker than two average ones.

- p1esk 5y agoWhy? They are getting double the average janitor salary. Why would they want to leave?
- phist_mcgee 5y agoBecause then you break the rule of 'everyone must be excellent'. In a room full of geniuses, do many people choose to mop the floor?
- p1esk 5y agoBut obviously if you're an excellent janitor, you're not breaking the rule, right? Also, I don't see anything wrong with choosing to mop the floor - especially if you're really good at it.
