    Do you guys agree that as an employer you should always get the best man for the job?

    Do you guys agree that as an employer you should always get the best man for the job? I know that I'm always recruiting and attempting to get top talent.

    Why then would we have a president and leader of the free world who couldn't pass a high-school equivelent test? How could anyone think he is the best man for the job??

    Sorry, I'm feeling political today.

              Best man or woman, yes.

                  best man for the job at the right price.

                  Now when talking about the president, they got the right man for the job at the right price...in other words those who are really in control paid a good price to have the man in the white house they could work like a fucking puppet...I just wonder who has their hand up his ass making him talk today.

                          Perhaps they felt pressure from equality groups to hire either a woman, someone from a visible minority or someone disabled/mentally challenged.

                          Guess which one of the 3 they chose.

                              You pick employees based on talent, skills, and intelligence.

                              Americans pick their president because of bribes... so they could buy a foot massager with their $300 tax refund.

                                  My experience in the consulting biz, is that it is no longer a "hire the best talent" policy.

                                  It is a hire, "hire the cheapest possible warm body, that can kinda, sorta, get something close to the job, done" policy.

                                  I suppose that kinda describes Bush.

                                      You tend to get people who are willing to work JUST hard enough not to get fired, and you pay them JUST enough so they dont quit.

                                      You've read it, you can't unread it.

                                              That's just silly. It's all about who you know, not what you know.

                                                          Presidents of the US aren't picked by the top echelon of the country. They are voted in by every voter. If you were willing to allow every employee, down the maids and janitors, vote for employees, that would be comparing apples and apples

                                                          Just curious, Rick, since you're in a political mood ;) If you could put anyone in the White House (alive and would actually run for office), who would it be and why?

While I'm sure they go into office with the best of intentions, once they get there they learn it's an uphill battle. Every time they try to do the "right thing" or what they believe is the right thing they get slammed from forty different directions.

While I'm sure they go into office with the best of intentions, once they get there they learn it's an uphill battle. Every time they try to do the "right thing" or what they believe is the right thing they get slammed from forty different directions.
                                                                                                                          Oh please. That's the life they chose and they are going down in history. I have to deal with all the stress of running my company but you don't hear me saying that I'd rather just answer the phones.

                                                                                                                              Why then would we have a president and leader of the free world who couldn't pass a high-school equivelent test? How could anyone think he is the best man for the job??

                                                                                                                                                          Do you guys agree that as an employer you should always get the best man for the job? I know that I'm always recruiting and attempting to get top talent.

                                                                                                                                                          Why then would we have a president and leader of the free world who couldn't pass a high-school equivelent test? How could anyone think he is the best man for the job??
