Thanks, but one of the problems I've got talented guys they just don't work properly, when they do (read: when I nudge them) I've got to give it to them, they are indeed pretty good.

Do they have some other projects they work on behind your back? (An old project leader managed an outsourced team that did that...)

Speaking for myself, I'm probably like your bad hires. If I do projects alone at work for more than a year, I start to hate my life. (-: Answer to next comment: "Yes, maybe that would be solved by getting a social life outside of work." :-)

I hope not :) and AFAIK they don't.

I know what you mean, that happened to many times when I was working in companies but in my own company luckily I'm not there yet, and hopefully will never be there :)
