Answer 4

There are 3 types of employees: 1) those that don't contribute to the company at all.  They cost you money but return less than what they are paid. 2) those that break even in that what they contribute equals what you pay them. 3) Good employees who return more to the company than what they get paid. Always fire type 1, lay off type 2 and hire type 3 every time you can.  You don't know this until after you hire and then evaluate them. This is the proper way to manage labor.
