Hire one person whose salary comes out of your own pocket, and management’s hiring & firing decisions suddenly make a lot more sense.

The caution and the “let’s give it one more quarter”  and too many hiring rounds because no one wants to take responsibility for the wrong hire. It all clicks the second the money is yours.

Maybe there is a camp that turn employees demanding value from employees into employees that think about the value they bring and leave when they become resentful?
