Comment "Absolute Best", a philosophy bound for disaster (Score 2) 292
The GM automobile assembly plant in Arlington, TX. Nearly closed down because they only looked for “the absolute best.” Suddenly their absolute best are all retiring and there are no “absolute best” to fill the positions. GM scrambled to the local high schools and trade schools. Offering full coverage of tuitions and above average pay for the new automotive technicians.
The hiring of the “absolute best “ philosophy is a disaster waiting to happen.
