#12： The following appeared in a memorandum from the CEO of a consumer electronics manufacturing firm to the head of the company's human resources department, who is responsible for hiring new employees: “Eight years ago, our firm’s profits were increasing with each new employee we added. We discovered that each employee had the skills and motivation to generate more revenue for the firm than his or her salary cost us. However, for the past two years, our profit margin has been falling, even though we have continued to add employees. Thus, our newer employees are not generating enough revenue to justify their salaries. We must not be hiring new employees with the same level of skills and motivation as those we used to attract. Clearly, then, failures in the human resources department account for our falling profits.”
我的观点，不知对否，能给点意见吗？ 1. fail to establish the causal relationship. profit增加或减少，不一定是因为招收新的员工，the author may ignores other possible factors. 2. the author unfairly claims that HR account for the falling profits 3. fallacy of "all things are equal"
