> But for a dedicated and loyal coworker, I'm willing to sacrifice some of my productivity probably the more we sacrifice of our own productivity the quicker they gain experience (and seniority) right? the only confusing thing that confused me personally in your statement was that they would have to be loyal. Isn't that something that one can only hope but must be proven over time. Meaning that at the time you trust that they turn out well you have no way of proving that they are "loyal" yet. Loyalty is nigh impossible to request upfront? I mean, ... you have to deserve it. And a lot can also go wrong on the way.
