Implement topgrading and you'll filter out anyone who's not an A
player. I have seen amazing results since implementing it. Half the
applicants won't even fill out the 5 page career history form. If
someone is too lazy to fill out a long form to get a job...imagine how
they'll be when they are working for you. The 'truth serum' of making
your applicants setup reference calls to supervisors of YOUR choosing
also weeds out the rest of the bad people.

I'm unfamiliar with the term mopes. Are they low wage, low skill people?
One smart, motivated person can probably replace 4 of those.
If you figure out how to hire only smart, motivated people just let me
know.

So the boss wants me to provide training to the mopes for "level 1"

to me, "level 1" is a mope connecting a phone to a prewired jack. If
the jack isnt working and you expect a mope to be the definition of
"level 1" then its not a "level 1" issue at that point.
So I provided some wikipedia articles on POTS and Punchdowns
I feel kind of like a dick, but it seems to me using mopes is a
recipe for disaster I dont want to be a part of.
any better resources out there?
