> "We work in a class system where you can't be fired once you're at a certain level"

But isn't that pretty close to the truth?

Heh, well then there are 3 ways to handle it:

1. Call it like it is "John failed, but we live in a class system so instead we're moving him to a less important team because we believe in this class system"

OR

2. Stop perpetuating that class system and fire people who do bad work, even if they went to Yale.

OR

3. Admit to yourself that you're not remotely honest, and don't expect any of your intelligent employees to buy your story either. [i.e. The normal choice]

It is. Might as well just admit it, and earn some trust of your employees this way.
