I'm talking about if they were chronically late, didn't follow instructions, didn't have skills they claimed to have on their resumes, etc.--not gigantic accusations like theft or drug use or auto accidents, etc.

What happens when the ground reference is disconnected from an electric circuit? I understand the concept that ground is the zero voltage reference point with respect to the rest of the circuit, but with the ground disconnected, will the circuit continue to function? I was playing a bit with an small circuit, but I found out, even with ground disconnected, the circuit continues to work? Is this really the case or not? What's the reasoning behind this? I was trying to justify it by thinking that the circuit continues to work because the electrons in the circuit haven't yet accumulated up to the point where the voltage would to equal. But that reasoning sounds pretty dubious because of how fast electrons move. So what would be the logical explanation for the circuit to continue to function? thanks.
