> You've called this one out as bad. Well, it probably is bad. if I invested through this company I'd be upset. But the thing is, its "hunt for keys under lampost, not because I lost them there, but because it's lit up" bad: You know this hire does not make much sense. The other hires, you are letting through because (I believe) you implicitly assume they can learn to do the job, all other bad reasons for hire not withstanding. Why can't he learn them too?

I can’t tell if you’re taking the piss out of me or not. Do you really think that because no one’s perfect that means hiring someone with no experience in a complex job is equivalent to hiring someone with experience?
