1. A prime candidate for natural de-selection. 2. His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of morbid curiosity. 3. Some drink from the fountain of knowledge; he only gargles 4. Works well when under constant supervision and cornered in a trap. 5. When he opens his mouth, it seems that this is only to change whichever foot was previously in there. 6. He would be out of his depth in a parking lot puddle. 7. This young lady has delusions of adequacy. 8. She sets low personal standards, then consistently fails to achieve them. 9. This employee should go far --- and the sooner he starts, the better. 10. This employee is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot. 11. Since employee's last evaluation, he has hit bottom..... and started to dig. 12. Give him two ball bearings and he will lose one and F-up the other. 13. The employee displays his energy and ingenuity daily - he is never where the work is. 14. This woman is proof that there is such a thing as the Resurrection, the dead DO come alive at 5 PM. 15. This man has all his marbles together, and would be a credit to the company if he could find where he hid them 16. In the six months she has worked here she has demonstrated why there should be more chlorine in the gene pool. __________________

Giving/getting references: Thornton, a Lehigh University economics professor, is the author of the "Lexicon of Intentionally Ambiguous Recommendations," or LIAR for short. So for a lazy employee, Thornton writes, you could say, "In my opinion, you will be very fortunate to get this person to work for you." How about the incompetent wretch? "I recommend this man with no qualifications whatsoever." The worker with drug and alcohol problems? "I would say that his real talent is getting wasted at his current job." This mode of linguistic escape hatch, Thornton told in an interview, came to him back in the 1980s, when now-retired Lehigh professor Eli Schwartz related to him a recommendation Schwartz had written for a student. Schwartz had said, "I simply can't say enough good things about this student." "I'd make sure there are no bars in the way of this man coming to work for you." He's likely to stop in for a few belts before showing up at the office. "You won't find many people like her." In fact, most people detest her. "There was not a single note of discord when he worked for us." It was a chorus. "He won't give you lame excuses for his shortcomings." They'll be whoppers. "Give him the opportunity and he will forge a name for himself." Don't leave any blank checks lying around.
