It behooves a company to miss at least twenty good candidates if it means avoiding hiring one bad one. A bad hire can utterly destroy a company. See the fiasco with Timnit Gebru.

As far as I can tell... Google is still around?


in the US, employment is at will. when you hire a problem, at the 90 day point you should see that it is a problem.

take action, give 2 weeks severance, move on. both sides.

now, someone that turns into a problem after 5 years, that's on you. they weren't bad when you hired them, you made them that way.
