Hiring poorly is worse than not hiring
Posted by at 5:22 PM

Joe Kraus, one of the founders of Excite, says that hiring a bad employee is far worse than not hiring anyone. He explains:

  1. A bad employee does far more damage than no employee, no matter the issue.

  2. A players hire A players, B players hire C players, and C players hire losers. Let your standards slip once and you're only two generations away from death.
