Wouldn't that depend on a learning curve if that was the case?

What I see though, is that one that is not productive fairly quickly needs to be gone. I have limited experience in hiring because I needed good help and now when I did have help. When they get really good then they leave. It's not always for a better job with better pay, sometimes life gets in the way. So I never had any time to groom someone, although I did in several cases.

Always the same, for whatever reason, they moved on. I ended up just being a lone wolf.
