What if hiring them in the first place was the mistake? What are your options in that case?
- capableweb 4y agoCEO fucked up, get rid of him/her. Why'd you hire so many people if you don't need it? Sounds like C-suite made the wrong call, in that case.
- redeeman 4y agoyes, CEO fucked up, should he now fuck up more by not firing them? you come home from the grocery store, you bought frozen goods. you are unpacking, and think you're done, so you sit down in your couch to relax, a couple of minutes later you realize you forgot to put the frozen stuff in the freezer, do you just go "oh well i dun fucked up, nothing to be done here, i'd best just admit defeat and let my wife fire me from grocery duty"
- SamoyedFurFluff 4y agoWell, it depends, did you blow the budget on meat because of your mistake? If so, yeah I think the grocery budget should be coming out your fun money personally.
- redeeman 4y agoand if i didnt blow my budget?
- lotsofpulp 4y agoGetting rid of someone because of a fuck up is amateur leadership (or politics to appease the mob). The relevant question is whether or not a decision was appropriate, given the information and parameters at the time of making the decision. No one is perfect.
- cudgy 4y agoIf anyone is held to a perfect standard, shouldn’t it be someone making $220 million in a year?
- lotsofpulp 4y ago>If anyone is held to a perfect standard The premise does not make sense to me. See: >No one is perfect.
- cudgy 4y agoOk. Can we agree that some people are expected to be more perfect than others? Say the janitor versus the brain surgeon? Or the CEO versus the staff software engineer?
- lotsofpulp 4y agoSure, different people can be expected to have different capabilities. But I don not see how that relates to the context of this comment chain. Specifically being able to predict the future a few years during and after an unprecedented pandemic.
- cudgy 4y agoWho’s job is it to predict the future hiring needs at companies? The staff software engineer or the CEO’s and executives? This is a primary role of a CEO and failure to predict this is a failure of their primary role.
- capableweb 4y ago> Getting rid of someone because of a fuck up is amateur leadership So you're saying that all these people who were mistakenly hired by Google and were now let go, shouldn't have been let go?
