Having held several jobs that required me to hire, train, or fire people, this seemed like a no-brainer. A sign that says, “Now Hiring Non-Stupid People.” And while the existence of your co-workers might contradict what I’m about to write, that’s usually the goal of everyone who has to hire.
No one wants idiots working for them. They are bad for morale and everything about your business. But you can’t always tell just how stupid someone is until you give them a task -or, more likely, two at once. And speaking of once – once that spot is filled, suffering fools can appear more desirable than looking for new ones.
