# 5 Types of People to Remove Even If It Means Disbanding the Startup Team

> People who lack gratitude will not appreciate their platform or those who supported and helped them, and naturally they will not succeed. This article outlines five types of people who should not be kept on a team: those with moral defects, the ungrateful, those who are not open to improvement, those with low aptitude, and those lacking loyalty.

People who lack gratitude will not appreciate their platform or those who supported and helped them, and naturally they will not succeed.

1. People with moral defects cannot be used. (Petty people cannot be used)
In today's society, when we evaluate a person, we first look at their moral character. This defines their true nature. Those with poor moral character are collectively called petty people.
The essence of petty people is manifested as selfishness, self-interest, maliciousness, insidiousness, boastfulness, empty talk, superficial pleasantries, and lies. Such people cannot produce positive energy. If they seem to be on the right path now, sooner or later their true intentions and face will be revealed.
As the saying goes, "Time reveals a person's heart, and distance tests a horse's stamina." They will eventually become the bad apple of the team, leading it into irreparable ruin. Such people absolutely cannot be used.

2. People who are ungrateful cannot be cultivated. (Those with a "white-eyed wolf" nature cannot be used)
To see through such people, just observe their attitude in a few key events, which fully reveals their "white-eyed wolf" nature. Ungrateful people will not appreciate their platform or anyone who supported and helped them, and naturally they will not succeed.
Such people often think they are very capable (arrogant), believe everything they have is deserved, and attribute all their achievements to their own efforts. They forget the guidance and painstaking teaching they received along the way, so naturally they do not feel gratitude.
No matter how capable such a "white-eyed wolf" is, no supervisor or boss would want to cultivate them.

3. People with low inherent quality but unwilling to accept guidance are not worth cultivating. (Those stuck in their ways are not worth cultivating)
Low inherent quality includes cultural and professional skills, which can be improved through learning and training. However, if they cannot deeply recognize their shortcomings and are not open to advice or change, they are not worth cultivating or employing.

4. People with low receptivity and comprehension are not worth cultivating. (Those who are "rotten wood" cannot be cultivated)
"Stones from other hills can polish jade." Only good jade material can be carved into jade artifacts. Rotten wood is hard to make into anything useful.
A subordinate who is not "sharp" is hard to entrust with important tasks. Leading such subordinates only exhausts the supervisor. Often, when they make mistakes, they still feel innocent. Such people are only suitable for simple, repetitive work that requires close supervision. They are not fit for major responsibilities.

5. People without loyalty cannot be employed. (Those who "bend with the wind" are not fit for employment)
From the company's and boss's perspective, employees must be loyal to the company and not harm its interests or the boss's interests. They also cannot ignore actions that harm the company or boss. From the supervisor's standpoint, disloyalty from subordinates is intolerable.
Such people may attach themselves to A today for their own benefit, and tomorrow attach themselves to B for the same reason. Those with such unstable positions are not fit for employment.
