If you hire 35,000 people in 7 years, you will hire many who seemed good but have turned out to be unsatisfactory. It is not surprising if some cleaning-up is in order.
While I find Jack Welch’s idea that every company should get rid of the bottom 10% every year risible, if you have not gotten rid of anyone for a decade there is probably a lot of low-hanging fruit.
My take as well. Wonder if this is the Trump affect, or just part of the cycle.
“While I find Jack Welch’s idea that every company should get rid of the bottom 10% every year risible, if you have not gotten rid of anyone for a decade there is probably a lot of low-hanging fruit.”
Apply this logic to the federal bureaucracy. I suspect a cut of 20% to the payroll of every agency and at least 50% to the overpaid “consultants” advising every agency would have no adverse impact on the ability of the federal government to function.
