For the office drunk:
- "I feel his real talent is wasted here."
- "We generally found him loaded with work to do."
For the chronically absent employee:
- "A man like him is hard to find."
- "It seemed his career was just taking off."
For an employee with no ambition:
- "He could not care less about the number of hours he had to put in."
- "You would indeed be fortunate to get this person to work for you."
- "He consistently achieves the standards he sets for himself."
For an unproductive employee whose job is best left unfilled:
- "I can assure you that no person would be better for the job."
For an employee not worth further consideration as a job candidate:
- "I'd urge you to waste no time in making this candidate an offer of employment."
- "I cannot say enough good things about this candidate or recommend him too highly."
