&gt; In any case, what I am trying to say is that you seem too quick to pin the lack of performance in the &quot;common workplace&quot; on the individual,<p>Sorry, but no, not at all. I explicitly said &quot;sometimes&quot;: &quot;sometimes, low performance is low commitment or carelessness&quot;. My message since the beginning has been that, while not a great indicator, previous performance will at least have some correlation with future performance. Again, it&#x27;s not great, but it&#x27;s also not a random relationship.<p>I hope it goest without saying, you can and should try to have a deeper look at the context.
