God helps those who help themselves

Last time I always thought that it is easier to teach someone new and inexperience to adapt to the standard that we want them to reach. Somehow, I guess this is one of the biggest mistake I've made.

I thought all human would be able to do self-learning by themselves when they are idle. Apparently, not all of them are like that. Some are lack of initiative, they just sit there and do nothing until somebody whack them at the back. Some are simply just good in acting and downright lazy, they can be hardworking when we are right beside them, when we leave them, they just do nothing and fool around. Some are taking things for granted, they thought they knew everything and just take things easily. Some are just too stubborn to listen, we tell them to do stuff number 1, but they do stuff number 2.

Of course hiring inexperience staff is cheap. But the time needed to train them to the level we want them to be at, is priceless unless the staff himself would be able to learn by his own initiative.

It's never too late to get rid of a staff, better than letting them bleed the company resources.
