> The duds were people who for one reason or other did not want to do what was assigned, yet took some time to say so. Personal issues for sure.

If there's one thing I don't want to do, it's work by assignment. I'm not a school kid, I'm a professional software developer. I'll tell you what needs to be done. You can inform me of the goals you have for the company, and I'll make sure that happens.

What I'm saying is that despite all my successes, you would consider me a 'dud'.
