What your remote workers might SECRETLY be doing...
In this monologue, Leila Hormozi explains how to identify a potentially bad hire in a remote work setting by monitoring response speed. She argues that new hires should respond quickly to make a good impression, and that persistent slowness—despite clear expectations—warrants further investigation. Hormozi suggests that slow replies often mask hidden distractions such as juggling multiple jobs, side consulting gigs, or managing a large homeschooling workload. She shares personal anecdotes of employees who claimed to be multitasking but were actually working only about 30 minutes a day. The key takeaway is to set explicit response‑time expectations early, track adherence, and probe any continued lag to uncover underlying issues before they impact performance.
