"A mediocre employee in your group is more than one mediocreemployee--he or she is a human multiplier-effect, to the downside.If you have even one mediocre employee, you have announced to theworld that mediocrity is okay by you, while conceding that you arewilling to slow the entire group for the sake of the worstemployee.
Thus, allowing that one person to stay is not being kind orgenerous; it's dangerous. It's dangerous for the individual, whoknows that, at some level, he or she is doing second-rate work, andwho you are locking into mediocrity, and it is dangerous for thegroup, which is slowed and distracted."
