• 2:41
  Speaker 2: a little fun. Hiring is tough work and finding great
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: people is a hard business. And so recruiters should be
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: and talent acquisition people should be applauded for the hard
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: work that they do every day. And they do have
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: to deal with a lot of experiences like this. So

  Speaker 2: I think they resonate so well with other people. People
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: are like, oh, yeah, I've had to totally. It's no,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: you know, I think Like on every story, you know,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: there's people out there that go, I totally.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: We just had a crazy submission, I want to say
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: last week, to the point where I was like, this
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: is so niche that I'm like, I can't even believe
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: this happened to somebody. So hopefully that ends up in
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: one of these episodes here soon. I don't know if
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: it might.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Get flagged, but it was crazy. We love those, though,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: so please send them.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, keep sending them.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: It makes us laugh.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thebadhire.com. Submit your story for a chance to win.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: All right? Get it done. All right, here we go.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I've got one here. I had it. Here we go.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: This is submitted. It is anonymous, but this is still
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: for the money. All right.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: OK, cool.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: All right. So I had an employee submitted his resume
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: via email and we interviewed and hired. There were no
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: red flags in the interview or any initial interaction. So
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: no red flags at all. He's paired with his field
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: manager and they began working together. And on day two,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: he believes the manager is trying to position him through
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: his water? Oh, wait. On day two, he believes the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: manager is trying to poison him through his water. He
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: then believed every day that someone was breaking into his
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: car and spraying bleach on all his stuff, including his
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: sealed bags. This then escalated to him believing he was
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: poisoned by airborne drugs, leading him to go to the hospital. I,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: HR manager, stepped in with investigations, of course, but he
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: had no proof that his manager was doing it. During
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: that sit down, he explained to me the matrix, voodoo, karma,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: and spiritual debt, among other things he explained to him.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: This conversation went on for an hour. I then decided
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: to put him on a new site with a new manager.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: He then believed that all the managers are spirit. He
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: then believed that all the managers were spiritual entities trying
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: to harm him. And this new manager was trying to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: kill him with heroin. After five trips to the ER
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: with inconclusive results, He was put in a 72-hour hold.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: He then quit. No one has been poisoned before or
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: after his employment, his four-week employment.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: That person might have mental health issues.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I think this story is sad.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: He might have like schizophrenia or something.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I think this story is sad. That's what it kind
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: of reads to me. It's certainly not funny.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: But it does let you know what you have to
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: put up with and the types of challenges you have.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: When you're an HR professional, I mean, this HR professional
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: is listening to all of this. They're going to accept it.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: It sounds like she didn't, didn't judge. She, she, you know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the HR person, I don't know if it's a man
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: or woman, then moves them to a different site with
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: a different manager to try to meet them. Maybe it
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: has something to do with the manager. And so, you know, then,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: then it's, you know, then it's, well, it's all managers. And,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: you know, I had a similar situation in my, career
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: where an employee who believed we were poisoning her and she,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: she believed, yes.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: She, she believed we were putting things into the air
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: that were near her desk to blow chemicals onto her.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: And she just was on and on about how she
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: was having these health problems and health issues. And, you know,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: she smoked laborious through the whole day. And, but she,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: you know, she was having these breathing issues and she
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: was blaming it on us for, for that. So it got.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Did you like actually believe that or was she trying to.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Get a compensation? No, I think she believed it. I
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: think she was just mentally ill. Right. And so we
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: actually hired.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: A.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Investigator.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: An investigator or a company that does air testing and
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: move this air testing machine while this guy monitored it.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: And next to her cubicle for multiple hours, paid a
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: couple thousand dollars to have it done.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Holy cow.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: And to show her, you know, hey.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Hey, you're good.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: And it still didn't work out for her, you know,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: in terms of she just couldn't break through that thought,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: That's really sad.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is. But, you know, we were– we
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: did– we're just kind of following HR teams rules, you know,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: or their idea. Hey, let's verify because if let's make
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: sure there's not, we're not putting chemicals in there, but
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: let's make sure there's not some chemical, you know, and
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: she's got a hypersensitivity to chemicals. So we, I mean, we,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: you know, attempted and, but it's a great story of,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: of just the challenges HR faces and, and, and what
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: they have to deal with and that, you know, hoping
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: they got, you know, this person, uh, help.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: They, you know, ended up with the hospital. So for sure. Uh,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: good stuff. HR could be heroes in a lot of ways.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: It's really all you can do in that situation too.

• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I've got... Riverside. Oh, this is Matt.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we have a Riverside story sent in.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I love Matt, man. He's from the south somewhere. I
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: love his accent. He had another story in a different
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: episode that I saw, or maybe one that's coming up.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: There's a girl who was hired by the manager of
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: that store about two weeks prior to me showing up.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: And she was hired in sales, and she seemed like
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: a nice young lady from speaking with her. But day
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: two of me being there, the office manager comes to me,
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: and she asked if the girl had asked for time
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: off yet, which she hadn't. And I asked why. Why
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: did she ask that? Apparently, she had mentioned to somebody
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: in the office a Vegas trip in two weeks that
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: she was going to be on for a week. And
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: she'd also been looking up plane tickets for it for
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: the trip on the work computer and left it up
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: so other people could see. So it was pretty easy
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: to track that down. She did come to me at
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: the end of my first week and she asked for
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: the time off. And it did line up perfectly with
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: the Vegas trip, but she claimed it was for a
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: medical procedure. After she claimed for the medical procedure, The
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: dates line up. I'm like, I need you to bring
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: in a doctor's note. Since you're going to be out
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: and you just started, you know, I need a doctor's
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: note to file that so I can get that time
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: off approved for you. So at that time, she said, yep,
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: I'll bring it in. My mom was going to bring
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: it in this afternoon.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: That never happened.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: You know, Monday rolls around to the next week. She
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: was going to bring it in. She can't find it.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: A few days go by. If I'm not mistaken, it
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: is the Thursday, the end of the week where she's
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: supposed to be gone that following week. And she brings
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: it in on that Thursday. It is a very obvious fake.
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: It has several spots that were photocopied to make the
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: head or footer. Only part of the signature and the
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: doctor's name was even on the paper. So I relay
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: all this to my supervisor. And after hearing back, we
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: decided it was best to go ahead and terminate her
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: employment at that point.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I've never heard of Vegas being a medical center. I mean, like,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of places that I'm like, oh, yeah,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: that's a really popular place to go get a medical procedure.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Vegas is not one of them.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: I didn't know blackjack could heal.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Maybe that's, she was looking for therapy. Maybe that's what
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: she wanted.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That might be what it was. It was actually,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: it was actually therapy that she was.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Going on a spiritual journey.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I need some, I need some fun therapy. I, you know,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: when I watched that, I was like, you know, the,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: it's like the second story in a row where I'm
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: just like, man, HR folks are just dealing with it
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: every day. You know, like, It's like right off the bat.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: You hire somebody and you're like, whew, hire them. And
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: then immediately watching them come off the rails, that's.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know why you would search plane tickets also
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: on your work computer.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Unless it's a work trip. I don't know. It's
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: kind of crazy.
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think I would care if
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: someone was planning their vacation and took a few minutes
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: at work to look up a ticket.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Well, if I knew I was going to lie about it.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: It's just a line.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the issue, right?
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: If I knew I was going to lie.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be in the hospital next week.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Excursions in Vegas.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: That's a little different.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: Best casinos to go to while in Vegas.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: All right, Morgan, what do you got? All right.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Post-surgery, best casino to go to.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Anyways, my story today is, so I worked at a
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: mid-sized firm, and we'd been searching for someone to head
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: up a project management office for months. We were talking
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: a stack of resumes a mile high. After all that,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: we finally landed on a guy. Let's call him Brandon. Oh, Brendan. Okay,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to say Brandon. Brandon Seaview was frankly immaculate.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Leadership roles at three different companies, decades of experience in
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the field, glowing references across the board. We were genuinely
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: excited to bring him on. He starts on Monday.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Morning.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: We fill him in with a welcome tour. We walk
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: him through the team and hand him his laptop, the
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: whole nine yards. Around 10 to 15, he mentions that
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: he's going to step out for his first coffee break.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Now a coworker happens to be at the same coffee shop.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: He spots Brandon in line and walks over to say hello.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Brandon is on the phone mid Google search and the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: screen is right there in plain sight. He's Googling what
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: is PMO. To be very clear about what that means, PMO,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: project management office, is the entire role. The entire thing
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: we hired him to lead. He is 45 minutes into
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: his first day and he's Googling what his own job
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: title stands for. The co-worker takes a photo, walks back
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: to the office, and shows the boss. We immediately dig
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: into the references. Every single one of them were fake.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: By Wednesday afternoon, Brandon is being walked out of the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: building three days in with a total tenure of about
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: 51 hours. And his last act in any official capacity
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: was Googling what those three letters meant.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Dude.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: We should have a contest. We should have a contest
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: like for the, because that's two stories that list the
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: total hours. We should have a contest for like the quickest.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: Fires?
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like the quickest. This one was 21 minutes.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: That was like 30 minutes, right? When it was like
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the guy who was like, oh, I think it was
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: like a developer.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: And he's like, I won't read a woman's code or something.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Wasn't that like a really quick one too?
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of some crazy ones we've had.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Kind of first day flame outs. I don't know. Yeah,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: there's been a lot.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Well, I have a second story today, too, actually. I
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: run a convenience store, nothing fancy, just a couple of
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: registers and a lotto kiosk, the usual setup. We bring
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: on a new clerk and her first shift gets off
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: to a pretty uneventful start for about 15 minutes before
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: my phone pings with a notification from the security cam app.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: I open it up and.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: There she is behind the counter scratching off lottery tickets.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: No customer lottery tickets are lottery tickets.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: No way.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: The ones that had not been purchased yet. I keep
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: watching because at this point, I genuinely have to know
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: how this ends. She is hunched over with a full
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: stack with a coin in hand, completely going to town,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: not even attempting to.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Be subtle about it.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: This goes on for 20 solid minutes before I finally
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: get in my car and I drive over to the
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: gas station. When I walk in, she doesn't even notice
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: me because she is mid-scratch on one of the tickets.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I tap the counter.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: She freezes and I just look at her and I say,
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: how's day one going? She goes, um, fine.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And I told her she didn't work here anymore. The
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: really sad part was I checked the pile after she left.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: She didn't even win.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: You got Vegas in one story.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Seriously, I will guarantee you that's not the first time
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: this happened at a place who's done that. Because you
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: would think like, hey, I'll just start scratching until I
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: hit the winner and I'll be able to pay back.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: pay off all the cards and make some money yeah
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: but oh my gosh.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I know like i know like you know a lottery
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: ticket or a scratch off like or i mean i've
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: never done it before so like i mean are they
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the same thing like.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Well the lottery tickets you buy numbers and you gotta
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: you gotta watch and the numbers come out right and
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: you gotta match the number scratch offs are like well
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: she actively win a dollar two dollars five dollars there's
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: tons of scratch offs.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah they're in I was going to say, was she
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: like watching the TV to see if one of the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: numbers hit or was she just like.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Who? The lady. The manager?
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Or no, not the manager.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Well, no, no, no, no. When you do the scratch off,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: she's doing scratch off.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: That's what she was doing because it said lotto tickets.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So she's doing scratch off. She said scratch them off.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: So when you scratch it off, if you get like
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: three matching, four matching, you could win. It'll tell you
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: win $ 1, win $ 2. And so you're like. you know,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: or win nothing, right? So maybe you buy five cards,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: you win two bucks, right? So, you know, or 10
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: or $ 20, but you know, the cards cost you 25.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: So you lost $ 5 in the deal, right? But if
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: you were to sit and go through a ton of them,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: you might stumble on the card that's $ 5, 000.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Well, it sounds like she didn't win anything, so.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: No, yeah.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Dude, those things are a rip off.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Deal.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: I was one away from like 20,000. They played me hard, man.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: Oh my God.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: I'm sweating. I was like, One more. Get my hopes up.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: That's hilarious.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, gosh.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: All righty.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Well, what do you got? What do you got for us, Corey?
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I believe this story is going to be similar to
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: your first one. And like, how quickly can you get fired? Oh, cool.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: So I manage a small office and we bring on
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: a new admin. She came across really well in the interview.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: References checked out the whole thing. Solid hire on paper.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: which I feel like everyone's a solid hire on.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Am I right?
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Day one, I sit her down with our senior admin
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: to go through training. Pretty standard stuff. The calendar system,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: the ticket queue, the phones. Around two o'clock in the afternoon,
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: the senior admin comes into my office, closes the door
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: behind her and tells me she thinks we have a problem.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: I asked what's going on and she says the new
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: admin just stopped paying attention mid-training and has been on
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: her phone ever since. So I walk out to her
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: desk and ask if everything's okay, letting her know we've
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: still got a few hours of training to get through.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: She looks up from her phone and without even a
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: hint of self-awareness says, oh, I stopped working at two o'clock.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: That's when my day ends. I just stare at her
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: for a second. I said, I'm sorry, what? And she
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: said it again, completely calm. Like this was a perfectly
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: reasonable thing to say on your first day of a job.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Now the job description said nine to five, the offer
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: letter said nine to five. I'd personally walked her through
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: the schedule that same morning. So I remind her that
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: we work until five and she looks at me and goes, well,
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: that doesn't really work for me. I told her she
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: could go. She seemed genuinely surprised and asked like for
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: the day. And I said, like forever.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Who works to 2 o'clock?
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Any job is standard 9 to 5. That's why Dolly
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Parton wrote the song 9 to 5, not 9 to 2, girl.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: We have so many stories of people who are bailing.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: You remember the one guy who doesn't show and then
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: he's like, well, can I leave early? And then by
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: the third day, he's like, can I go hybrid?
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: So basically my takeaway from that is Morgan and I
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: are good to go at two today, Ken. Yeah.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: That sounds good to me.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: You know, my favorite line in there, what you said
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: in that story was, and you said something about it
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: was like, it's a solid hire on paper. And you're like, well,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: isn't everyone, like day one on day, but when they started,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: everyone was, it was a solid hire on paper.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: Everybody's resumes are pretty good.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: When you get a t-shirt that says solid hire on paper.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: AI is a new little thing. You know?
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Then day one came.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Yep. Wow. I don't know. At least her references checked out.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: The other guys' references were all fake.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: So, hey.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: At least she was being honest.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: That's got to be, like, super challenging, like, just incredibly frustrating.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: You know, you get the role. Clearly, there's a startup.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: It's hard. You got a training thing to go through.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: It sounded like they had a training class, which means
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: they had to do multiple people. And so, now... On
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: day one, you got somebody who's like, after you told
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: them over and over, it's nine to five, they're like
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: bailing at two and you got to start over. You
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? It's ridiculous. I mean, just like,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: it's got to be incredibly frustrating when you're like, I
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: don't even know where to begin.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: I told you nine to five, told you it was
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: still five o'clock.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: You know? It's so weird. I don't know.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, oh.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Hey, man, that's it for us today. That was those
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: are good. I appreciate it. We heard a lot of
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: stories around the last couple of shows around resume fraud
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: and all that. And so I thought they were good. But,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: you know, I forgot to I forgot to mention that
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: I mentioned at the beginning of the show about the
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars. I think you did. Okay, good.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: You can always say it again.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: $ 1, 000 up in the.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Line, guys.
