“The A players go, the B players stay and the C players get asked to leave.”

Sounds fitting for a lot of places. "A players" tend to dislike the slowness of bureaucracies.

Reminds me of a comment I read here, when an engineer says "I'm leaving now", management hears "I'm ready to negotiate seriously".

Pity so few managers truly grasp this.
