There are two people I work with that are going to lose their jobs but don't know it yet. It is sad, but justified. I like both people very much personally, but both of them aren't qualified for the jobs they hold. Person A is outdated because he just doesn't want to learn anything new or maybe he is incapable. Person B wants to make people believe that he knows what he is doing when in reality he doesn't have a clue.
What is especially sad about this is that they are both probably going to be furious about the whole thing instead of just realizing this about themselves. What my company should do is tell them they have 2 months to find a new job because it isn't working out anymore. I wish people could just realize that a free ride doesn't exist in the work place. You may be able to do it for a while, but ev entually it will catch up with you...
I can't save the world, but I can drop subtle hints. Person B complains that he hasn't been moved over to the position he is good for, but he doesn't know that he will never be moved to that position because of his level of compitence and because he is going to have his position replaced by someone with more knowledge than he currently offers. So I tell him, "If you aren't happy waiting you should maybe go else where. Find a place that will treat you right."
This is selfish to say but, better him than me. I have been laid off already once. I don't want it to happen again.
