A short YouTube clip by Tim Frey advising managers on when to fire a team member: use the simple test “Would you rehire them?” If the answer is no, proactively remove them because retaining the wrong people harms business growth; the speaker prefers to work harder himself than keep poor performers.
So here's how to decide if your team member is worth keeping or not. Is would you rehire them? That's it. And if the answer is no, and if the answer is no, then you should probably look for a way to get rid of them. There's nothing worse for growing and scaling a business than having the wrong team. I would rather work 10 times harder and handle the jobs of multiple people than have the wrong people on the team.
