  Speaker 2: Yeah, the badhire dot com. Submit your story for a
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: chance to win, all right, get it done. All right,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: here we go. I've got one here, I had it.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Here we go. This is submitted, it is anonymous, but
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: this is still for the money. All right, Okay, 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 believed he believes the manager is trying to position
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: him through his water. Oh wait, he on day two
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: he believes the manager is trying to poison him.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes, true.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: He then believed every day that someone was breaking into
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: his car and spraying bleach on all his stuff, including
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: his sealed banks. This then escalated to him believing he
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: was poisoned by airborne drugs, leading him to go to
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the hospital. I hr manager stepped in uh with investigations,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: of course, but he had no proof that his manager
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: was doing it. During that sit down, he explained to
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: me the matrix voodoo, karma, and spiritual debt, among other
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: things he explained to him. This conversation went on for
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: an hour. I then decided to put him on a
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: new site with a new manager. He then believed that
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: all the managers are spiritual. He then believe that all
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: the managers were spiritual entities trying to harm him, and
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: that this new manager was trying to kill him with heroin.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: After five trips to the er with inconclusive results, he
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: was put in a seventy two hour hold. He then quit.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: No one has been poisoned before or after his employment.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Is his employment his four week employment.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: It's that person might have I don't know. His story
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: is sad, he might have like schizophreni or thing.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I think not certainly not funny, but it does let
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: you know what you have to put up with and
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the types of challenges you have when you're an HR professional.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, this HR professional is listening to all of this,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: they're going to accept that. It sounds like she didn't
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: didn't judge she she you know, the HR person I
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: don't know if it's a man or woman, then moves
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: them to a different site with a different manager to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: try to you know, maybe it's had something to do
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: with the manager and so you know, then then it's
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: you know, then it's well, it's all managers. Yeah, 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
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: she was she believed, yes, she she believed we were
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: putting things into the air that were uh near her
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: desk to blow chemicals onto her. And she just was
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: on and on about she was having these health problems
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: and health issues and you know, she smoked, ye, laborious
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: through the whole day and but she you know, she
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: was having these breathing issues and she was blaming it
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: on us for that.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: So it got did you like actually believe that was
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: she trying to get on?
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I think no, I think she believed it. I think
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: she has just been leale right. And so we actually
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: aired a investigator, an investigator or a company that does
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: air testing and move this air testing machine, whether this
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: guy monitored it for and next to her cubicle for
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: multiple hours, paid a couple thousand dollars to have it
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: done and to show her, you know, hey, and it's
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: still didn't work out for her, you know, in terms
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: of she just couldn't you know, break through that thought.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: You know, it's sad, you know it really is. And
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: but you know, we were we did, you know, we're
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: just kind of following HR team's rules, you know, or
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the idea, Hey let's verify, because if let's make sure
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: there's not we're not putting chemicals in there. Let's make
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: sure there's not some chemical yeah, you know, and she's
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: 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: just the challenges HR faces. Yeah, and and what they
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: have to deal with and that you know, hoping they
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: got you know, this person help. They you know, ended
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: up at the hospital. So for sure, good stuff. HR
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: could be heroes in a lot of ways, you know
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: what I mean.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really all you can do in that situation too,
• 9:11

  Speaker 2: I love that, I love. I love Matt Man. He's
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: from the South somewhere. I love his love his accent.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Uh he's he had a he had another story in
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: a different episode that I saw, so or maybe one
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: that's coming up.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: There's a girl who was hired by the manager of
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: that store about two weeks prior to me showing up,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: and she was hired in sales and she seemed like
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: a nice young lady from speaking with him. But day
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: two of me being there, the office manager comes to
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: me and she asked if the girl had asked for
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: time off yet, and which she hadn't, And I asked why,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: you know why? She asked that apparently she had mentioned
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: to somebody in the office a Vegas trip in two
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: weeks that she was going to be on for a week,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: and she'd also been looking up plane tickets for it
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: for the trip on the work computer and left it
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: up so other people could see, so like it was
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: pretty easy to track that down. She did come to
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: me at the end of my first week and she
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: asked for the time off, and it did line up
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: perfectly with the vegas, but she claimed it was for
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: a medical procedure. After she claimed for the medical procedure,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: the dates line up, I'm like, I need you to
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: bring in a doctor's note since you're going to be
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: out and you just started, you know, I need a
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: doctor's note to file that so I can get that
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: time off approved for you. So at that time, she said, yep,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: I bring it in. My mom was going to bring
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: it in this afternoon. That never happened. You know, Monday
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: rolls around to the next week. She was going to
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: bring it in. She can't find it. A few days
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: go by. If I'm not mistaken, it is the Thursday,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: the end of the week where she's supposed to be
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: gone that following week, and she brings it in on
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: that Thursday. It is a very obvious fake. It has
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: several spots that were photocopied to make the head er
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: footer only part of the signature, and the doctor's name
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: was even on the paper. So I relay all this
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: to my supervisor, and after hearing back, we decided it
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: was best to go ahead and terminate her employment. At
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: that point, I've.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Never heard of Vegas being a medical center. Yeah, I mean, like,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of places that I'm like,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, that's a really popular place to go get
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: a medical procedure. Vegas is the one of them, right.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know Blackjack could heal.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that's she was looking for therapy. Maybe that's
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: what she wanted.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that might be what it was. It was,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: actually it was actually therapy. She was going on a
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: spirit but I need some I need some fun therapy.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I you know, when I watched that, I was like,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: you know, the the second story of the row where
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I was like, man, hr, folks are just dealing with
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: it every day, you know, like it's like right off
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the bat, hire somebody, You're like hied them, you know,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: and then and then immediately watching them come off the rails.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: That's I don't know why you would search playing tickets
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: also on your work computer, Like yeah, unless it's a
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: work trip, Like, I don't know, it's kind of crazy,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: all right, I don't know I would.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think I would care if someone really planning
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: their vacation. Yeah, it took a few minutes at work
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: to look up look up a ticket.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well if I knew I was gonna lie about it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Than fine. Yeah right, I'm going up movie in the
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: hospital next week and excursions in Vegas. That's a little different.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Best casinos to go too, well in Vegas?
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, all right, Margan, what do you got?
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: All right? Post surgery? This's casino to go to. Anyways.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: My story today is so, I worked at a midsize
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: firm and we've been searching for someone to head up
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: a project management office for months. We were talking to
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: a stack of resident We're talking a stack of resumes
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: a mile high. After all that, we finally land on
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: a guy. Let's call him Brandon. Oh, Brandan, Okay, I'm
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: just gonna say Brandon as seuture. Brandon Cevie was frankly
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: immaculate leadership roles at three different companies, decades of experience
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: in the field, glowing references across the board. We were
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: genuinely excited to bring him on. He starts on Monday 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 ten to fifteen, he mentions that
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: he's going to set 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 forty five minutes
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: in his first day and he's googling what his own
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: job title stands for. The coworker takes a photo, walks
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: back to the office and shows a boss. We immediately
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: dig into the references. Every single one of them were fake.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: By Wednesday afternoon, Brandon is being walked out of the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: building three days in with a total tener a tenure
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: of about fifty one hours, and his last act in
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: any official capacity was googling what those three letters meant.

• 15:20
  Speaker 1: registers and a lot of kiosk, the usual setup. We
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: bring on a new clerk and her first shift gets
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: off to a pretty uneventful start for about fifteen minutes
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: before my phone pings with a notification from the security
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: cam app. I open it up and there she is
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: behind the counter scratching off lottery tickets, no customer lottery tickets.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Are lottery tickets, no way, the ones that had not
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: been purchased yet. I keep watching because at this point
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I genuinely have to know how this ends. She is
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: hunged over with a full stack with a coin in hand,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: completely go into town, not even attempting to be subtled
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: about it. This goes on for twenty solid minutes before
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I finally get my car and I drive over to
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: the gas station when I and 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 topped the counter. She freezes, and I just look
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: at her and I say, how's day one going? She
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: goes fine, and I told her she didn't work here anymore.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: The really sad part was I take the pile after
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: she left. She didn't win.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: You got Vegas in one story, Garson, Seriously, I will
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: guarantee you this that the first time this happened at
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: a place. Who's done that? Because you think, like, hey,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: I'll just start scratching until it hit the winner and
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I'll be able to pay back, pay off all the
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: cards and make some money.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I know, like I know, like you
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: know that a lottery ticket or a scratch off, like
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, I've never done it before, so like I
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: mean the same thing.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Like, well, the lottery tickets, you buy numbers and you
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: got to you got to watching and the numbers come
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: out right. Scratch offs are like, well, she actively you'd
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: win as dollars, two dollars, five dollars hans of scratch offs.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, was she like watching the TV
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: to see if one of the numbers hit or was
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: she just like.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Who the lady the manager?
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Or no not the manager at the.
• 17:07
  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 1: That's what she was doing because it's a lotto tickets.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so she's doing scratch them off. So you
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: scratch it off. If you get like three matching format
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: and you could win, it'll tell you win one dollar,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: win two dollars, you know it's it's uh and so
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: you're like, you know, or win nothing. Yeah, right, so
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: maybe you buy five cards, you win two bucks, right,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: so you know, or ten or twenty dollars, but you
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: know the cards cost you twenty five so you lost
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: five dollars in the in the deal, right. Yeah. But
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: if you were to sit and go through a ton
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: of them, yeah, you might stumble on the card that's
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: five thousand.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Wells long. She didn't want anything, so no, yeah, those.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Things are a rip off.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: I was one away from like twenty thousand. They played
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: the hard Man.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I sweat and.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: I was like one more, get my hopes up.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: That's hilarious.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Alright, it well, what do you have for us? Corey?
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: I believe this story is going to be similar to
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: your first one, and like, how quickly can you get fired? Well? Okay,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: So I manage a small office and.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: We bring on a new admin.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: She came across really well in the interview references, checked
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: out the whole thing solid higher on paper, which.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I feel like everyone's a solid higher on Yeah, all right.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Day one, I sit her down with our senior admin
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: to go through training, pretty standard stuff, the calendar system,
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: to take a queue the phones. Around two o'clock in
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: the afternoon, the senior admin comes into my office close
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: to the door behind her and tells me she thinks
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: we have a problem. I ask what's going on, and
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: she says the new admin just stopped paying attention mid
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: training and has been on her phone ever since. So
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: I walk out to her desk and ask if everything's okay,
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: letting her know we've still got a few hours of
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: training to get through. She looks up from her phone
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: and without even a hint of self awareness, says, oh,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: I stopped working at two o'clock. That's when my day ends.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I just stare at her for a second. I said,
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, what and she said it again, completely calm,
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: like this was a perfectly reasonable thing to say on
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: your first day of a job. Now, the job description
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: set nine to five. The offer letter said nine to five.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: I'd personally walked her through the schedule that same morning,
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: so I remind her that we work until five, and
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: she looks at me and goes, well, that doesn't really
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: work for me. I told her she could go. She
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: seemed genuinely surprised and asked, like for the day, and
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: I said, like forever.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Who works to two o'clock and have job as a
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: standard nine to five we have. That's why Dolly Parton
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: wrote the song nine to five, not nine to two.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Girl. We have so many stories of like people who
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: are like bailing. You remember the one guy who doesn't
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: show and then he's like, well can I leave early?
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: And by the third days like can I go hybrid?
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: So so basically, my my takeaway from that is Morgan
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: and I are good to go at you today, Ken.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that sounds yeah.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: You know my favorite line in there, what you said
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: on this story was and you said something about it
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: was like it's a solid higher on paper, and you're like, listen, everyone,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: like everyone go before we start. Everyone was it was
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: a solid higher on paper.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Everybody's resumes are pretty good.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I don't want to hat a T shirt.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: This is solid higher on paper. There you go a
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: little thing, you know. Then then then day one came.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah wow, I don't know.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: At least her references checked out. The other guy's references
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: were all fair. So hey, that's true. At least you
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: have been honest.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: That's got to be like super challenging, like to just
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: incredibly frustrating. You know, you you get the role, clearly,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: there's a startup. It's hard. You got a training thing
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: to go through. Sound like that had a training class,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: which means they had to do multiple people. And so
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: now on day one you got somebody who's like, after
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: you told them over and over it's nine to five,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: they're like bailing it too, and you got to start over.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: You know, man, you're just ridiculous. I mean, just like
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: you just it's got to be incredibly frustrating when you're like,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I don't even know where to begin. Get told you
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: nine to five, told you it was still five o'clock.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's so weird.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, huh a man, that's it
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: for us today. That was those are good. I appreciate it.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Get wet. We've heard a lot of stories around overtheless,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: a couple of shows around resume fraud and all that,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: and and so I thought they were good, but you know,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I forgot to I forgot to mention the dimension at
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: the beginning the show about the ten thousand dollars. Okay, ye,
• 21:56
