from the stament do you agree that managers should not be able to hire whomever they want ?
Managers should not be able to hire whomever they want especially if there is a particular level that is needed within the company and their company needs.

He will work for money and will not hesitate to change jobs if the pay is higher. He works very hard for the company, but he also expects the company to work for him. He has no problem working a 60-hour week at his current job if he is financially compensated for it. Despite having a family and supporting his sick sister, he once quit a job because his boss refused to give him a raise because he was already making too much money. He is extremely passionate and driven. A supervisor at his previous job stated that, while Berlin did an excellent job for the company, his personality was so intense that they were glad to get rid of him. His former boss observed that Berlin seemed to be constantly pushing. If it wasn't for more money, it was for better perks; he never seemed to be satisfied.
