'There are t$,o main types of inefficient employees: those who are inefficient, and are allowed to incur any serious loss; and those who are inefficient '1a little bit at a time." These latter may tend torvards accidents, but not serious ones. Their absenteeism might seem moderate-but when seen in the form of a year's or more records, turn out to be serious. Their rating record might fluctuate-but be, on an average, Iow.
