    Not really related to the post, but I feel like sharing.

    Big boss where I work wanted all managers to read a book. He had staff scour the Internet looking for copies of this book so that they could give every manager their own copy.

    He said we were going to have meetings with the entire management team to review chapters of the book one at a time.

    The gist of the book was: take the time to make sure you hire the right people for the job, retain the good ones, and get rid of the people who don’t work out.

    I think we covered two chapters in meetings.

    After that, an upcoming hiring freeze was announced, and everyone was told to fill all their open positions within two weeks or the position would be cancelled.
