Recycling Poor Performance

After my post on mediocre hires, I received the following comment. Mediocre, poorly-performing and bad teachers keep re-appearing and that is not good for schools, our children or our future

What do mediocre hires say about an organisation?

I was just sent a "did you hear about x?" email about two people I know who have just been hired by the same large for-profit charter school group. What was interesting is that each now has the title "National Director : abc". What was more interesting is that each is on the incompetent side of the performance spectrum. Hiring one says something about the organisation. Hiring both speaks volumes.
