P.T. 巴纳姆《赚钱的艺术》· The Art of Money Getting · 投资

Men in engaging employees should be careful to get the best. Understand, you cannot have too good tools to work with, and there is no tool you should be so particular about as living tools. If you get a good one, it is better to keep him, than keep changing. He learns something every day; and you are benefited by the experience he acquires. He is worth more to you this year than last, and he is the last man to part with, provided his habits are good, and he continues faithful. If, as he gets more valuable, he demands an exorbitant increase of salary; on the supposition that you can't do without him, let him go. Whenever I have such an employee, I always discharge him; first, to convince him that his place may be supplied, and second, because he is good for nothing if he thinks he is invaluable and cannot be spared.

白话

巴纳姆说,雇人时要用心挑最好的。工具越好越顺手,而活人是最要紧的工具,更得挑。挑到好的,留着比换来换去强:他每天学东西,经验越长越值钱,今年比去年对你更有用,只要习惯好、忠心,就是最不该放走的人。但如果他仗着你离不开他,要价离谱,那就让他走。巴纳姆说自己遇到这种员工一定辞掉:一是让他明白他的位置有人能顶,二是他若自认不可替代,就已经没用了。核心是:好员工要留,但别被要挟。
