response: <\/strong>1) your implication is that you will hire replacements at a higher level.<\/p>\n

i do not like that. i like hiring out of school and training internally. i\u2019ve written about this many times and shared my ideas ad infinitum and will not repeat that here because you can search back to previous q&as (or read my 30:30 training method<\/em> book<\/a>).

\n2) you said you will hire and then fire, so you will not be short-staffed, but expect to not be as busy until september, so you might end up letting the staff go before you get the replacements. if you are really not that busy then why not wait until the end of summer to hire the replacements?<\/p>\n

3) based on what we discussed, your reasons for letting the staff go look like you did not fully evaluate their entire performance. one of the reasons you gave is that they are not growing and are dead-ended. i also previously dealt with the reasons for staff maxing out, but here are some additional things to consider.<\/p>\n
