Да, но такие работники намного хуже и могут стать одной из основных причин fail'a :

"Lesson: Hire well
Since we needed to build so quickly, as soon as we got some money we wanted to hire another technical person. Nathan had a friend he wanted to hire, who was exactly the kind of great programmer he could work well with. However, it took some convincing to get him to try working on a news website [читаем - the app store games], and he wasn’t sure he’d stick with it. We were sure we’d be able to convince him to stay, and we even waited two weeks for him to move to work with us.
Unfortunately, we were never able to excite him about the project, and we quickly realised he was never going to be intrinsically motivated the way we need for a first employee. There was a point when I was over in Cambridge with Nathan and the other developer, and I noticed that the developer wasn’t working on a Sunday. Now, we aren’t the kind of people who think our employees owe us 90 hours a week, but startups need that kind of work ethic from very early employees–exactly the reason that intrinsic motivation is so important. If your first employee doesn’t love what you do, doesn’t wake up each morning dying to work on HIS product, you have likely chosen poorly, and that’s exactly what we did.
Similarly, we hired someone who wanted to learn how to do community management and social media promotion [читаем - прогать под айфон], instead of someone who knew how already. This is a pretty tough area, and I think we made a mistake in not hiring someone with much more experienced for such an important role."
