$2,000

The biggest mistake when hiring someone new is hiring only for skill and not for a culture fit. Zappos famously offered new hires $2,000 to quit to make sure that they only had people who really fit the culture and stayed. So it's not about weeding them out, but it's about finding the right fit for your employees so you can make sure that you protect your culture, your organization, and that you can grow.
