Stupid article. Yes I agree with not keeping hopeless staff, but to say a solution for all businesses doing badly is to fire 20% of their workforce si stupid.

A cure-all attitude. How about seeing why the company is having the problem first - could be nothing to do with staff, could be any number of factors.

Quite agree. If you are forever getting rid of the bottom 20% you are forever having to train 20%. It is like the trickle down effect of Roger Douglas's reforms. The only trouble is that there was no trickle down.

1136054 2010-09-12 03:03:00 I dont agree with the author that companies could consider firing staff let alone do it, just being a big mouth I reckon.
Its almost impossible to fire staff these days unless you make it so uncomfortable they leave on their own volition you couldnt lay the bottom 20% off and rehire.
The whole concept is morally wrong because there is always going to be a lower 20%

The trickle down is the most efficient non subsidized farming sector in the world.
