sorry the last sentence seems to be a non-sequitur. Why does the high cost of a hiring mistake justify letting slightly sub-par people stay?

- eigenvector 13y agoBecause they might be replaced with someone who is much, much worse. Not awesome vs. complete disaster.
- astral303 13y agoPresumably because of the risk of replacing a known slightly sub-par quantity with an unknown truly bad hire.
- GeneralMayhem 13y agoVery risk-averse people might prefer a known meh to an unknown potential apocalypse.
- mathattack 13y agoYou answered it much better than me. Every hire that comes in without someone at the firm personally vouching for their character is a risk. Sometimes an honest meh is better than risking the apocalypse.
- matwood 13y agoKnown quantity versus unknown.
