Sometimes managers don’t appreciate that for some work you need experience as well as smarts. The new hire had the latter, not the former. But sometimes you can’t tell someone the truth and have them accept it if their mind is already made up. Then they learn the hard way.

I have found out they rarely learn, if ever. If they do, most won’t admit it.
