    Correct answer: Lay off everyone. The new project will be coded solely by AI. 💯 hired.

      Not hired at all, but feedback added to database for said AI project that will envelop all roles therein.

    I think the correct answer is:

    So you don’t want to hire me for my leadership skills you just want me to be the face of your decisions? You’ve already decided the asshole needs to move first, why not just move him yourself?

    The not alone condition does not apply if manager is with them

    1. take asshole
    2. take bore, but return with asshole
    3. take idiot
    4. take asshole.

      I love this idea of the asshole getting transferred to a new project, removed from said project shortly after, only to be put back on the project after another short period.

      Haha! Take that, asshole!

      It’s not, the way it’s written, the asshole cannot coexist with either the bore or the idiot, which is pretty accurate.

        The hen can’t be alone with the fox or the grain, so it’s still the same.

          You’re right, I want thinking of the manager thermals as counting as another person for the purposes of “alone with”, but provided they can move back and forth simultaneously with their employee (or they’re always counted as part of the new team) then the puzzle is possible.

    Trick question! IATA: IDGAF about your rules about who can work with who.

    That’s right! I said “who” not “whom”! I don’t care about your grammar rules either: like putting punctuation inside quotations. Or starting a sentence with a conjunction.

    Did I get the job?

      Honestly this is the most sane take. If the asshole can’t work with 2/3 of the team then they need to GTFO. I don’t have the time or mental bandwidth to deal with shit like that.
