• 2:23
  Speaker 5: Maybe I do.
• 2:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah maybe maybe see Yeah.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: So why don't I start You want to do that? Yes, so.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: We've been this is here. Here's the story and I
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: read this a minute ago. This thing goes from you know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: a little menacing at work to just absolute crazy town.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: So we had been noticing a lot of tools going
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: missing at work, like thousands of dollars worth of drills, batteries, saws, alls,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: you know that kind of stuff. You know, we're a
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: pretty large manufacturing facility, but our processes hadn't called up
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: to our size yet, so nothing was really tagged or identified,
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: which made it really hard to track. I guess easy
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: to steal when they don't know what they have.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: I was working in one of our shops and the
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: supervisor came in and grabbed one of the apprentices and
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: asked him to come with it. Now, this kid was
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: always a pretty decent guy, pretty funny, and not a
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: bad worker. We all knew he was kind of a
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: mess though, and had a lot of bad habits. So
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: when he got asked to go, we started to put
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: it together that he must have been the one stealing
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: the stuff, probably to pay for drugs, and that he
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: was he was gonna get let go. He comes back
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: a little bit later and confirms that he was fired
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: and grabs a couple of things, but doesn't touch his tools.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: Very odd considering that's how we make our living. But
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: one of the guys asked if he's gonna take them,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: and all he said was nope, I don't need them,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: but watch me in the news.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Then he left.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so that's it.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: We kind of, oh, no, this is going again. The
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: story keeps going. We kind of looked at each other
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: in laugh figured he was just mad and you know,
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: making some crazy, you know statements or claims, and that
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: he'd come back and grab them when he calmed down
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: a little bit. Nope, never returned. Turns out he had
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: some relationship issues going on along with that rampant drug use,
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: and now that he had even more time to enjoy
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: that he had no job. So he ended up assaulting
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: his girlfriend and when she left in her car, he
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: ran down the street to a convenience store carjacked some
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: lady's ride. She managed to get out before he took
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: the car. The four days following were pretty crazy. Apparently
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: he was randomly committing crimes with no real ideas, with
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: the idea of what the heck he was doing lots
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: of kind of random vi and ease, And at one
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: point he was confronted by a homeowner, to which he threatened,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: it was pretty crazy seeing someone's face that you just
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: worked with a few days earlier plastered all over the news.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: So he he was not telling a lot when he
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: said catch me on the GEDI he was real serious
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: about it.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: He was just doing all this and not no. Is
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: he on drugs?
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess I don't know why I did all this.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know it all came. It all came.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Undercover officer spotted him and yet another stolen vehicle on
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: the highway. The cot flashed his badge to try to
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: get him to stop.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: He did stop by ramming the police car and forcing
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: them both onto the side of road. The officer was
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: then attacked by the man who even but he eventually
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: tasered him uh and got some back up. So mister So,
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: mister name withheld received a decently long jail term for
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: his efforts, and I've never heard from him since.
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: We should give him a name.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, what's his name, what's his name? Bob, Bob, dang Bob. Yeah,
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: I don't know a lot.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: So it goes from you know, a missing Saul, to
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: carjacking to you know, ramming a police officer. I guess
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: a lot of times you have no idea who you're
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: working with.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Yea, you know, I guess, guess, so you need.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: To check himma if if like tools start missing at
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: the office, hall, definitely checking.
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: From me on.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: Not that I'm before.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. It just seemed like it just was.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: It was read it went I mean, it's completely went
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: off the rails here, all right. Here's here's another one.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: I hired someone who seemed promising. How many of these stories.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: They all say that, they all say they see.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: How it's just like everyone's like, oh this, this was
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: going to be a great hire, and then it just so.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: I hired someone who seemed promising, said he was proficient
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: in a coding language, but on day one he couldn't
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: do even the basic.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Coding and that language.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: So even after being given code code samples during his
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: exit interview, he admitted he'd never used it. He'd just
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: seen it used and thought, well, he could probably figure
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: it out.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: The examples he gave.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: In his interview were apparently stolen from coworkers.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: So I don't know.
• 7:11
  Speaker 8: I'm just thinking, isn't something you can just see someone
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: do and be like, oh, yeah I got that, or
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: I'll figure out later.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll just do it all the first day of
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: the job. I'll just you know, I don't know how long.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: You think, you as long as I remember to put
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: skills test. They actually have skills tests a lot. It's
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: just kind of crazy they someone would hire someone on
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: their w oh yeah, you know, they had to have
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: had more than one applicant.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Working interviews are like a real thing. Guys like you,
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: guys can do them like you don't have to.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: Oh I saw that once. I just put it on
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: my resume.
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah okay.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: So I don't know, And so I was, I was,
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: I was trying to think of the number, you know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: we've had, I don't know, examples of people saying they
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: can do things yeah in my career, and then you
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: get there and they can't. And in fact, I read
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: an entire Reddit thread last week. It was it was
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: just people talking about how to lie on their resume.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: It was just literally yeah, telling them you worked here
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: or there.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Sometimes they don't check like your employment and like.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Totally lie about your employment.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah whatever, just fill it in with bacon.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: And they're crazy to me.
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, just lie.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: And and there were people being telling their story of
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: how they lied that they got the job, and then
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: other people being like kudos, many like celebrating it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: So helpful, thank you. Wait till wait till they hear
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: about a social media screen though, when we're checking their
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Reddit comments. And I was like, yeah, I light on
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: that job and I'm in there right now.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that would be horrible. Media screens do catch
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: the Yeah right, I don't know that that, and I
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: know it happened, but I guess I was. Even in
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: the business that I'm in, I was still completely shocked
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: at just the rampant just say oh, yeah, I did it,
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: and here's what I did. Putting it, writing it down.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: It's like saying you speak a language that you don't.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Coding is like a language. It's crazy.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: So I hired a contractor, and this is a not
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: a not a builder, but like I think as a coder,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: I hired a contractor after an accelerated interview like red
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: flag immediately accelerated interview, meaning hey, can you do this? Yeah,
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: I can do it, You're hired. I hired a contractor
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: after an accelerated and accelerated interview because I needed someone
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: now and they passed with flying colors.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: So they said too, flying colors and promising, yeah, Emma.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Can you are you do marketing? Yeah? Awesome, flying colors.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: On day two, a female report a female reports back
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: comes to me and says, this person won't let women
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: review his code. I talked to the new hire to
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: get a side of the story, and he confirmed, Uh
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: what what?
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: I want to know what he said when he confirmed.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: And double well, he doubled, and he doubled down on okay,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: I will not let a woman.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: On day three, and why did he say?
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Why he does? He say?
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: Here, I'm sure he said, and they probably don't want
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: to post that already.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Right on day three he was fired.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: Okay, so as he should be. Yeah, yeah, I mean,
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: you're not gonna let some review your work.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: It's a quick one.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: I don't understand how you could possibly say that and
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: think that someone's going to be I don't let women review,
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: and they're you know, review my code, and someone's gonna
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: you know, the manager is gonna like, oh yeah, no problem.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, totally good, totally get it. Yeah, I understand, understandable.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: I want to let a woman review my code, even
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: you don't worry about it.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's crazy, Yeah.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: That I don't know.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Sometimes what people will say, you know, they lose their
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: job for for for good reason, I think.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of these are very well deserved firing.
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: A lot of these are very well deserved of a fire.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, quick firings, guaranteed firing. So there's this one is
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: mind blowing, and I question whether it's real. Okay, yeah, okay,
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: So there was a lady at my job that robbed
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: It just sounds like something that happened in.
• 11:12

• 11:50
  Speaker 4: But this lady robbed on her lunch break, comes back,
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: then parked her car in the garage of a hospital
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: across the street, and came back to work like nothing.

  Speaker 6: Happened, but all the money in her car.
• 12:04

  Speaker 4: Unfortunately, she had forgotten to take off her I D
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Badge robbed the bank, so the cops just came over
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: to the building and arrested her.
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: By the end of the day, I'm going to give
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: her a name. Let's call her Lisa.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: I was gonna say Linda.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: That's Solinda, So come on.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Maybe there's truths to it, but during
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: the lunch breakers, crazy like, how do you think you're
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: like have an hour long.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: The whole id Badge thing just made me.
• 12:44
  Speaker 9: Think, no way, Yeah, yeah, I remember the one I
• 12:47
  Speaker 9: read last episode, episode before last one. They he robbed
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: that bank with his two co workers, and they call
• 12:52
  Speaker 9: him because he signed his autograph on the booklet at the.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, oh my god. Yeah, I'm sure there's like some
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: parts of that that are true, but definitely stretched a
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: little bit.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: All right, So you guys, who's got one? You've got
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: a long one?
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: I do this is a submitted story, I think, yes.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: So this story was submitted to me on LinkedIn, but
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: she asked if she could say anonymous, because she said
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: that a lot of the story would be very telling
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: if somebody was to see it someday as to who
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: they were and where she were. Yes, and so this
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: is a long one, guys, so buckle in. She said
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: she wanted to finally share her bad higher story. I
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: think she's been waiting to tell this one for a
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: long time. Right. I hired an intern to work with me,
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: who was a backup for someone else I was hoping
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: to hire. The day started as an intern was a
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: day we had to attend a horror event and it
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: was her actual first time walking through haunted houses. I
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: took her through and the night ended up being great
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: for our little first time meeting each other. We naturally
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: became close after that and had a pretty decent relationship.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: Fast forward and I end up hiring her full time.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: But I was going through some personal things a separation
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: from my marriage, and was trying to be there for her,
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: but was also being kind of distant. I would ask
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: her to get work done and she would get very
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: flustered and wouldn't know how to handle it. She was
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: overwhelmed by everything all the time, even as simple as
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: sending an email. One day, I saw her using traguyt
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: for every single project I assigned to her, which is fine,
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: but some things need to be personal. A few months
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: into her being full time, we hired a new intern
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: who she had recommended and knew. But as she was hired,
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: she was quickly jealous of the new intern and had
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: so The new intern, I guess, was having to sit
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: at her desk because of the lack of desk space
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: that they had, and she would go to my fitness
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: class with me. So that she's saying the new intern
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: would go to these fitness classes with her, and the
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: new intern in her got closer. The original hire was
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: getting jealous and upset even though she was invited to
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: do all these activities, but she wanted to get really
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: close to me and my friend. Since I wasn't letting
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: that happen, she decided she would tear me down. She
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: ended up quitting her job, making it about me. Then
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: she lied to my manager into the HR department about
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: all these things that I had did. She told them
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: that she had to drive me home from being too
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: drunk at an outing separate from a company event. She
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: told them I was using her apartment to have an affair.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: Literally never saw her apartment. She told me I showed
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: her inappropriate photos of myself that I wouldn't want, like
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: wouldn't take to work, and that she would show them
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: to her while she was at work. I would ask
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: her to do things because that's her job. She would
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: even gaslight me in the office and say I never
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: told her to do something, but I would have actual
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: physical proof of it in an email or a message. Anyway,
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: HR asked me like thirty questions about ninety percent werelies,
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: and after three months of an investigation, I got fired.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: What I didn't know if that's as bad as many
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: other bad hires. But since she's blocked me on all
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: my social media including LinkedIn, people keep sharing her posts
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: with me, and it's her complaining about how awful I
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: was and that she had to hide in her car
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: and cry from me yelling at her, which again I
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: never did. She posted on TikTok about how horrible her
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: boss was and of course this was her first job
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: and a lot of people of the company knew her
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: boss was me. Anyways, that's my story.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: How old is this person she's now?
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: Like, I think like the person who's writing.
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: This, no, like the inter person that was causing all
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: the drama.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: I think she sounds pretty young.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: I was about to.
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: Say that it sounds like because yeah, it sounds like
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: in high school drama that she brought into the work
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: places is ridiculous.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: And she, the lady who's telling the story must be
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: older because she was married, she had separation from marriage.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: I think now she's like a really high position in
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: a different company, but she had an intern with working
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: for her, so this person had to be calledge Okay,
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: that's crazy.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: It just like gave her an opportunity. And yeah, just
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: a lot of people, you know, bring a lot of
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: bring a lot of drama, and yeah, all that kind
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: of stuff into that into their workplaces.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's she gets, I guess being jealous of a.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Coworker said about you that aren't true.
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but but then like saying that she was doing
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: things at like non company events like.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah I have to do and bringing it to HR.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it's just so dramatic.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: I don't know, I think it. Yeah, I feel bad
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: for her.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: The biggest thing for me is if it's all of
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: it's not true.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right to have that said about you and then
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: and then have someone go on TikTok and post about you.
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, apparently you have to be to come up with
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: all of these fake scenarios too, like person to do that.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's great post about them on LinkedIn. Like if
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: I'm a future like employer and I see her posting
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: about her previous like higher.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: A social media screen on that particular person probably would
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: have shown.
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: Like most definitely, yeah, most crazy stuff, bad stuff, you mean,
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: not great posts?
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:54
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: It kind of reminds me me and girls like when
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: they have like yeah that they write in and it's
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: like the literally yeah, the bad higher book. But that.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Social media screen at least for like yeah, at least
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: for senior people. But it seems like it might be
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: more effective for young people to make sure they even
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: know how to operate and on social media and complete
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: gas lighters on there.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: So I feel like social media is sometimes even more
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: telling and modern day than like a background check sometimes too,
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: because like that's where people's lives are. They post everything
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: on there, and like there are a lot of things
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: that you know, they might not have gotten like a
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: record for, but they still could be doing. I think, yeah,
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: you could do.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: You could do so much damage to someone or a
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: company on social media. You know, the background check and
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: the criminal records are important as well, but social media,
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: it's just crazy town.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all right. This one's from Reddit. So this one's
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: a kind of short story. All right. So I was
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: a hiring manager out of Dunkin Donuts and I had
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: a guy submit an application and he had listed that
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: he was a Felt and I briefly asked him about it.
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: I really don't care. Tons of Fallons work here. And
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: he told me that he had two counts of grand
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: larceny from stealing from his previous jobs. His most recent
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: job was at another donuts.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Like you're saying in advance, yes, okay.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: So he said he had two counts of grand larceny,
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: but it was from stealing from previous jobs. His previous
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: job was a dunkin Donuts, so he's going to apply
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: for another Duncan dot And he said that he was
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: bragging about how many times he got away with it
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: before getting caught, needless to say, he was not fit
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: for the position.
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: Well, I'm sorry that that really got I don't care.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: Lots of felons work here, so you fit right in.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like I don't really care. But also, why would
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: he just go to another dunkin Donuts? Like, change up
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: where you're gonna steal it?
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: For funny? What is it about the dunkin Donuts?
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: Is he just stealing the cash or is he stealing
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: the product?
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: I don't know, Like he didn't ask. He really wanted
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: to sneak peek at the seasonal.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, oh my goodness. All right, now, this is also
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: from Reddit. This is from somebody who's worked in recruiting
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: and HR for a very long time. So it's kind
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: of a list of their bad hires in one post.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: So this is a lot of different but they're kind
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: of short. Yeah they are, OK, So it says get
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: some bullet points. Yeah, if you've had this many bad hires,
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: you start to wonder should I still be doing recruiting?
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Like, well, it's you know, it's just I know, it's
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: tough work. It's super hard, and it can be incredibly rewarding,
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: like when you put somebody in the right job, the
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: right company, and they.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Just crush it. Yeah, that's got to feel good.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: And if you look across a company you've been doing
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: business with, you can see kind of like your recruiting
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: DNA everywhere, and yeah, I've really done a good job.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: You can feel good about that.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know you also, if you do it
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: a lot, you stack up some missus.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this one I think, I like this person was like,
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: let me just give you, give you miss so he says,
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: Oh boy, where to start. Most of these stories are
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: early in my career, but I've had bullet point a
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: candidate on trial for the murder of his wife, a
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: best selling author, slash medical doctor, brest surgeon who tried
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: to run over a police officer.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: Were starting off strong.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: Multiple people show up drunk or under the influence. Had
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: one guy who tried to fight the operations manager after
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: feeling disrespected by the manager's inquiries to his shaky work history.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: How a lawyer try to that had to been like
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: early in the process because they're asking about his work history.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: So you're talking about like week.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: One, what have you done?
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: How to don't ask me?
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, don't ask me about my work rates?
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Theory.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: I'm he said none on his resume, all right. Had
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: a lawyer try to assume me and bill a client
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: A bill a client for time spent on an interview
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: because he was pissed that he didn't get the job.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: Once we explained the bill to his company, they dropped
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: him like a fly. Alidy once presumably soiled herself in
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: a small interview room with me. I had a woman,
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: had a woman of color tell me I couldn't understand
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: diversity because I'm a white guy. Trows of candidates that
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: are terrible in interviews, bat on paper, et cetera. Try
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: to offload the rejection onto falsilties that are easier for
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: them to accept. Sorry, no, ma'am, it's not that you
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: are an older person. I had no idea because we
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: only spoke on the phone and you never revealed any
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: identifying information. But yes, please keep telling me in the
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: screening call that we won't hire you because we are
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: a get or because we are a agist. And another
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: you won't understand because you look young. Okay. Had a
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: greasy looking guy once tell me my colleague was hot
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: when she left to use the bathroom. Oh, there was
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: this one guy who stole a projector on his way
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: out of the building.
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: I'll be taking that, thank you.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: I need one. I need one of these for Sundays.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: I can't to watch the game one.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: I can't believe this is I'm like, he still has
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: one more or two more. How a former cop apply
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: to a security job to find out he was forced
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: out of the force due to domestic violence jougs and oh, yeah,
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: he's a sex offender. Maybe a children's hospital isn't the
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: best place to apply for Oh my, well, that's true.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: We see that all the time. People are applying somewhere.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: We do their background check, and you're like, they're trying
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: to work where.
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: Out of school? Right at a children's hospital.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: You're just like, wow, I'm glad these people do background checks.
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: Wow. This one was I was offered sexual favors from
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: candidates men and women. Wow. Okay wow. And so his
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: last line is so many more. These are just the
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: ones that come to mind.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: I wonder how many recruiters are listening that list going
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: no way, just haven't experienced that before, and they're.
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: Just like, who's reading the Reddit thread, going oh that
• 23:54
  Speaker 7: was me.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: Somebody replied to him and said Jesus Christ, are you
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: working for a McDonald's. Are you recruiting for me adults?
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: Maybe.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: All right, this is my last story, everybody, This is
• 24:09

• 24:12
  Speaker 5: a take home test by email, and they forgot to
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: extract the text of the email reply chain with his buddy,
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: in which if you scroll far enough you could see
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: a their buddy helped them with the test. Actually the
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: buddy did most of it and b the two of
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: them weighing up on the finer points of a drug
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: deal they were participating. I guess people don't understand like
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: the reply all in like the.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: Forward, they had this big long conversation and yeah, he's like, hey,
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: checked these questions out and then he forwards the thing.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: Also, like think about like.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: Some forwards where like people that people.
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: Didn't double kicking though, especially for something like that.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I almost never hit reply all people. I think
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: I aggrevate people.
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: Let me make sure they don't see my drug deal.
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, who talks about a drug deal on email?

• 25:49
  Speaker 7: Okay, I'm gonna decide it for this one is a
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: little long, so I'm gonna start with it.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: It's from Reddit.
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: Okay, all right, here we go.
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: See I can keep this PG for the LISTENERSCU there. Yeah,
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna try to modify some things, all right. I
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: was the office coordinator for a large staffing agency between
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: two thousand and four and two thousand and six, so
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: this is a long time ago. My office was unique
• 26:18
  Speaker 7: in that it was situated on a client side in
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: a modular building. Our office only staffed for this one client,
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: but we had two hundred and twenty five to two
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: hundred and fifty employees at our client site. Every spring,
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: the client would hire approximately ten to twelve people from
• 26:33
  Speaker 7: our pool of people. This is a great opportunity for
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: people that had little to no previous experience or less
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: instellar work history to get a foot in the door
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: and an opportunity to advance to a job with great pay, benefits,
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: et cetera. That, of course, you also got some of
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: the scummiest people walking through your.
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: Door looking for work that I know. I know.
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: Our biggest disqualifying factors were people like were felons, sexual background.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: Checks, sexual buttcheck.
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: That's what he says on the here. I'm assuming that's
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: what he means.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: All right, So at first fact, let's not suggest that
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: all felons are unemployable, Yeah, because they absolutely are.
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: But okay, yeah, I'm assuming that's what he meant.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Because that's the people.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: A lot of those people need those yeah yeah jobs
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: to get back into the workforce and get great pay
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: and benefits.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: Another thing is testing positive for controlled substance and recent
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: violent crimes. We also tended to stay away from people
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: that have worked heavy manufacturing, doing repetitive stress to work
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: for a long period of time.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: I was second in command of our branch office and
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: reported directly to the branch manager.
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: We'll call her Mandy.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Okay, Mandy's a made up name.
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: Mandy was a very interesting woman, about forty to forty
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: five years old. The best way to describe Mandy was
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: she was she was a little crazy.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: She reads the story and tries to reword it in
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: the I.
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: Don't know if I could reword that.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: I'll just keep it out.
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: She was a little crazy.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: Mandy absolutely loved me and treated me like I was
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: her golden child. I was in charge when Mandy was absent,
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: and all the shifts shift leads would call me when
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: they had a problem. We had an employee I will
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: call him Fred. Fred lived in a weekly rate hotel
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: that was a dog right down the street from his
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: favorite bar, which I will call Mini's. Fred worked on
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: one of the day shifts that ran six am to
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: six pm, and from hold on, I can't keep up
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: the story so long. Okay, this is just.
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: Little details about like where he lived and everything that
• 29:00
  Speaker 9: has really nothing to do.
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: That has really nothing to do.
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, He's then in the hotel whatever near the bar.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: Like's like, yeah, yeah, I.
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: Love the detail that I really love. It helps me paint.
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: It helps me paint the picture.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: Fred had started off as a decent employee, but his
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: attendance started slipping as he was sorry.
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: I had to switch to as he was calling in sick.
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: Fred was one.
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: Fred was of the notion that he was going to
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: work just enough to be able to earn himself enough
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: money to be able to drink and pay weekly rent
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: and no more. Fred had been counseled repeatedly by myself
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: and finally the branch manager on his attendance. He was
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: on his last morning and was informed that any more
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: attendants violations in the next thirty days would be met
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: with termination. Three days later, Fred comes into my office
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: hysterical that his mother was in the the town next
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: had a stroke and was dying in the hospital. He
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: really needed to be with her. I grant him a
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: one day approved absence as long as he is going
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: to be with his mother.
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: At the hostel days.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: It was really generous, he said, as long.
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: As he's going to be at the hospital with his mother.
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: Because God forbid, he go to Minnie's like.
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: He thanks me profusely, and I call him a cab.
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: When Mandy comes into the office, I inform her of
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: the situation. She is going to wait about an hour
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: and then go down to Minnie's to see if he's there.
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: Half an hour after I spoke with Mandy, the office
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: receives a call. It's from Fred's sister. Her and their
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: mother had been doing some shopping downtown and her mother
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: stepped out in front of a car and gotten hit.
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: Her mother is in bad shape. They are airlifting her
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: to a trauma hospital. I take her name in number
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: and we'll have Fred give her a call. I call
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: down to Minnie's and ask the bartender if Fred is there.
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: It is an emergency. They put Fred on the phone.
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: I relay the information from his sister without mention anything
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: about his outs.
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: It's like, not even gonna.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Bring it up.
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, gonna bring it up.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: Fred then blows up on me via the phone about
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: how dare I call him at Minnie's. He informs me
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: that he doesn't care if his mom's in critical condition?
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: How dare I ruin the sanctity of Minnies by calling him?
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: What is like? Then inform him.
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: That he is fired, don't bother coming to work tomorrow,
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: and then hung up the phone. I then informed the
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: branch manager of hold On know of this, and she
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: lasts and says, take all your things, like everything. It's fine,
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: and she is glad she doesn't have to terminate him now,
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: like she's glad she didn't have to be the one
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: to do it.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: I call and have the customer deactivate his access card,
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: and I enter his termination notes in the employee database.
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: Twenty minutes later, a cab pulls up and Fred jumps
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: out and comes running into our office and starts screaming
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: at me from the entrance to the building while walking
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: towards my office. Mandy hears the combotion and grabs him
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: and pulls him into her office and plops him down
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: in a chair. The conversation he ends with him saying,
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: f you, I don't work for you, I work for
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: the client whatever, blah blah blah. He then storms out
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: of the office. We look out and see him try
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: to use his access card in the gate to gain
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: entry to the factory. When it doesn't work, he begins
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: kicking the gate. At that point, I call nine one
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: one and report an aggressive drunk ex employee attempting to
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: break into a secure facility.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah from the sancafy of spread, walks around to the
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: front of the client and starts banging and kicking on
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: their locked front glass door, demanding to be let in.
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: I call the receptionist and inform her that the police
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: are on the way. He ends up kicking their glass
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: window and spiderwebbing it before being tased by the police.
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: Like smashing.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, sees the show.
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, our client ended up having him banned from the
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: property and press charges on him. Whatever. Three days later,
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: I get a call from Fred asking me a sweetest pie,
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: he can have another chance at his job. I had
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: to inform him that even if I was willing, which
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: I was not, he had acted in such a way
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: that the client had in banned from their property. They
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: were so terrified of him my hands were tied. He
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: thanked me for the for my time and hung up.
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: Then this is how it ends. Get ready, it's.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's crazier, it's kind of dark, It's kind of oh.
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: Two years two years later. Two years later, Fred was
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: killed in a bar fight after being hit in the
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: head with a barstool at Minnies.
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: Okay, and that is the only stip that story.
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: First of all, there's so much to unpack here.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: More stories like that, that's just these. You can't ruin
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: my day withol.
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: I wasn't trying to ruin your day.
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: You want it, you wanted the craziest story.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Crazy.
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: First of all, I want to say that, like I don't.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: I don't like think I want to say called Kharma.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: But he really spoke his mother being in the hospital
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: in two existence pretty much I knowing about her.
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: There's so much to unpack here, the way.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: They hate there's so much detail in that story.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and then the sactity of Minis literally ended up
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: being his dead.
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: It's real that It's it's like so many how dare
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: you call me at Minie?
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: Right, that's crazy, It's pretty crazy.
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: I think I think about that when I hear that story.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: I think about being a recruiter. Yeah, and in an
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: operation like that when you've got so many people, yes,
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: and one client. I think they said they had two
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: hundred and fifty people on one on one client and
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: just all the stuff, yeah, you have to deal with, right,
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: just all the emergencies from the people that you hired. Yeah,
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: and most most of the time those are like really
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: high pressure placements. Got to have the people. The people
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: are hard to find, yeah, and so you know you
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: end up some times not getting the greatest. You absolutely
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: get some people that you're gonna have challenges with and
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: so you're, you know, your life every day is you know,
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: you wake up and wonder what what emergency am I
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: going to deal with on somebody at place.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: At a client's place.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's always tough because think about the pressure
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: of of the recruiter of like that one hired does
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: something so bad that ye lose the account.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Now we're going to lose not just the one.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: Position, but yeah, the whole thing. Yeah, all the placements
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: as they switch.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: So I don't know, it's very very very tough.
