Brick layers are easy to fire on day one.

I’ve hired many construction workers over the years. In the construction industry, if an interview goes longer than 15 minutes you’re doing it wrong.

Interview summary: Interviewer: “Can you do the work?” Interviewee: “Yes.” Interview over.

When they start working, if they can’t do the work, they’re fired.
