• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get started.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: How does that soy sounds good?
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: All right, here it is, let's get it. I found
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: this this one the lawyer who went down in the stall.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: So he just from the starts off just so. A
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: few years after law school, my firm hires this brand
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: new attorney right away. The guy's loud, big energy, talks fast,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: always bouncing off the walls, the kind of person when
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: you you know where you think this dude might be
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: on something.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: A couple of months and my boss goes to use
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the restroom one morning and finds him unconscious on the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: floor of the bathroom. At first, everyone panics, thinking heart attack.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Nine one one is called empt show up and nope,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: not a heart attack. The guy's high as a kite.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: They haul him out and when he comes, when he
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: comes back to the firm, he says, look, if you
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: want to They say to him, Look, if you want
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to keep your job, you got to take a drug test.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah he refuses, really.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Boom fired on the spot. So three years, a long
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars in debt past, the bar got
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the job, and the whole thing blown up and ends
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: on the bathroom, you know, in a bathroom floor in
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a stall. So one bad decision, that's all it took.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: The man literally barred himself.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: I see what you did there, very yeah, very nice.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: I was gonna say somebody who was pre law and
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: also worked for a lot of different like lawyers and
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: different stuff like that. People like that stand out because
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: most of them are not like that at all. They
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: have no energy, they are not full. So I'm sure
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: he still got.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Like a source saying that your typical lawyer is not No,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: don't like that.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: No not.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: It sounds like, yeah, a lawyer, a lawyer did that.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: It might have also been worked to domestic.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well but yeah, that that's crazy.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: That that's something else.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Drugs are bad.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, don't do drugs.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Please, don't do drugs.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Don't do drugs.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: They probably could have given him a second chance too,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: if you'd just taken a drug test.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I guess they knew it was you know,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: he knew he was going to fail.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean they knew he was on drugs offering.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: It was doomed either way. Like, yeah, he takes it,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: he fails, and he refuses to because he knows it's
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: gonna fail.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The reality is most most companies, when you a
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: lot of companies, I'll say, when if you fail a
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: drug test, it's not the end of your career. It's
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: not the end of your job. They'll try to get
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you some help. So if you if you open about
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: it and he asked for help, you know they're only
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: obliged to want to help, especially if you're good at
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: your job. Yeah, if you're that at your job, maybe
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: not so much.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Before we dive back into the chaos on the bad hire,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: this episode is brought to you by b checks. Hiring

• 4:42
  Speaker 1: your reputation, protect your sanity. Go to bchecks dot io.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: That's bc h ex dot io. So the refund queen. Uhh.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: This one goes back almost thirty years. This person rights
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Back when I was working retail, we had this girl
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: at the customer service counter who handled returns. She'd been
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: there for years, super confident, knew the system inside it out,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: turns out she really knew the system.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I guess that's one of the pluses for like really knowing.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Well, they act like you don't know.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Ball. Yeah, here's what she figured out. Every time a
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: customer came in for a refund, she'd process it somehow
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: so the customer got their money back, and then she'd
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: quietly pocket the same amount to herself. So she was
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: double dipping right under everyone's nos So she was doing
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: right in front of everyone knowing, just nobody called on
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to it. For a really long time, Lost Prevention started
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: watching her, apparently quietly, patiently, just watching, waiting for a proof.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: By the time they were ready to move, she had
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: taken almost thirty thousand dollars. This was thirty years.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Ago, so that why did why did it take them
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: so long to catch on to that?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well maybe a long time ago.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty years ago. Much difference, you know, much more
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: manual systems.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Then one day, then what it could be that she
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: was like crediting their credit ye in the day, they'd
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: be crediting the credit card, processing that, and then she
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: was also pulling the cash and saying, yeah, I refunded,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and you just without all the systems today to watch
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: all those transactions just like never. Then one day, middle
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: of the afternoon, the cops walk in right past customers,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: write past the checkout lanes, they cut, They cuff her
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: on the spot and walk her out in front of everyone,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: just like that, gone, years of work, reputation, everything traded
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: for thirty thousand dollars. That's one of the waddest things
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen on the job. And the craziest part,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: she almost got away with it. We always see these
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: stories of people who steal. They always end up like
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: making it obvious, like Flawn somehow.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, only have that one story where she was stealing
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: clothes from the store, but then she'd walk in wearing.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Weird She's still saying it's only she wanted to be caught.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: She was like, Eh, this has gone on long enough.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Up, maybe they forgot.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't like the new line that came in. Yeah,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: tell you free store.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Who's up and where you next?
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I think, yeah, what you got?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: You said that lady was double dipping. I have a
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: double dipping story too. Oh it's not this one. I'm
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: about to read this the one after. But anyway, my
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: new coworker had a full psychotic break. We shared an office,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and at first it was little things. She'd mutter under
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: her breath while she worked, but she wore headphones all day,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: so she didn't realize she was actually muttering. She was
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: speaking loud enough for me to hear everything, So she
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: was like talking to herself, I guess too loudly.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah not crazy, Yeah, people do that a lot here.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: But what she was saying was terrifying.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, things.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Like how she wanted to unlive everyone in the office.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Oh that's not like, oh I have to send an
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: email to Cindy.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Crap or which pen would be the best to stab
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: me or another co worker with kinds of stuff she's
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: muttering out loud. On top of that, she started hoarding
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: anything that could be used as a weapon. I found
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: a drawer full of staplers, piles of scissors, even a
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: two bout four that had been used to prop a
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: door open and was just sitting by her desk. She
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: just shoved up under there.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I went to management, but they didn't believe me, so
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I borrowed a cos that's real. Who believes if.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: You went to management and said she's horrid.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: You're never gonna.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Go. Yeah, she's planning on sabbing me.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: With a pen like you would look down. You go
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: there and it's like, well, she has six staplers their weapons. Yeah, okay,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: she's stealing stapler selling them one eBay.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: So I borrowed a coworker's webcam, set it up on
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: my desk, and left it running while I went to lunch.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: When I got back, I put the footage on a
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: USB stick and handed it to my manager. Ten minutes later,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: he pulled me into a meeting and told me to
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: head home, but to tell everyone I was leaving for
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: a client visit. The next morning, I walked in and
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: noticed she wasn't at her desk. Then I heard glass shattering.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: She was in the conference room with my manager and
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the CEO. She had thrown a chair into the glass
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: wall and smashed it. I watched her grab her laptop
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: and hurl it at the CEO's head. It missed, but
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: barely a few people rushed in to restrain her until
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: the police arrived. Cow It was one of the scariest
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: moments of my career.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: No, I would hope, so I would hope that's the
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: scariest moment of your career.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: It's one of those stories where you're like like him
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: going and saying like you're never gonna believe this, Like,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: of course he didn't believe. And I see something.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: We hear stories like that all the time where people
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: just completely flip out when they're yeah, I know, to
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: be fired.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: And I see people in our TikTok comments talking about
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: this is a fake story. Yeah, like all of you
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: to assume we're reading fake stories on this podcast. This
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: is a very bold of you to assume we're reading
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: fake stories on this podcast. Yeah, No, that's crazy, clearly,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: you just you just never know.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: About people freak out when they remember the story where
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the guy got fired for creating a little cocoon and
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: sleeping in the box.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and he lost his mind.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: He's lost, yeah, screaming why.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that was one of my.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Read I don't doubt that there is some storytelling in
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the story writing.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Definitely, maybe some fabrications a little bit, yea, but for the.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Most part true, Yeah, for sure.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: All right, Okay, here's my second one for today. A
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: new guy shows up for his first day and the
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: vice president can't stop bragging about him. He's a brilliant
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: higher game changer. Just wait until you see him at work.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: On day one, he strolls in around ten am, same
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: thing the next day, works two hours, then leaves. By midweek.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: They've already booked him on a business trip, flying out
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Wednesday and supposed to return Friday, but at the last minute,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: he rebooks himself on a midnight flight, and when Friday
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: rolls around, he texts that he's taking a different flight
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: and then just disappears. What he didn't realize is that
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: a bunch of us had worked at his previous employer,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: and sure enough, someone from that previous employer text messaged
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: us and said, Hey, didn't you guys just hire so
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: and so because I just saw him making copies here
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: at the office.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, he's double dipping his job level.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: So that's why he's only there for two hours, because
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: he's at the company for the other time.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Eight he's leaving. I'm gonna go get some coffees.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just other I'll be right back.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Turns out he was double dipping, working both jobs at
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: the same time at two science and tech companies. No less,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: and while the NBA's weren't strict, you still can't work
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: for a potential competitor simultaneously. They're competitors too, or to
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: science and tech companies.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I get this happening, Like with remote work, it happens. Yeah,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: people do this. They talk about it. Yeah on Reddit
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: all the time. Like just like give an advice on
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: how to pull it off. You know, how to get three.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Jobs, but just be a freeman.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Do it where you're actually going into the office. Now,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: that's that's that's yeah, that's some moxie right there. Let's
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, excuse me while I go to the bathroom.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: I gotta take a call from Yeah.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: And you guessed it. He was fired from both of
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: those positions, just like that. The brilliant hire turned into
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: a two for one hiring.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, it's for those CEO to ceo calls. Yeah, hey, hey,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: let you know, we're gonna let this guy go.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: It's so funny.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: That's insane. Yeah, that's my stories. Those are awesome, all right.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I have I have two today as well.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: So my first story is we had a new hire
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: who soon after starting at the job, didn't show up
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: for two weeks. No calls, no messages are written. Policy
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: said in voluntary termination after four days of a no
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: show slash no call, so HR tried to fire him.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: I even had to have oh, I even had them
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: call his wife. She had no idea where he was.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: He was a top notch machinist. So I signed off
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: on the termination reluctantly. We inventoried his tools, put his
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: toolbox on a pallet and locked it in the shop.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Then week three, at the start of his first shift,
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: he walked in calm is anything. He came straight to
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: my office and asked where his toolbox was. I told him,
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: and I also told him he was.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: No longer employed. He stared at me, and then a
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: second later he goes, if I leave now, I'm going
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: to your house to off your family.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: I called nine one one.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Within minutes, a dozen officers showed up and handcuffed him
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: on the shop floor. He ended up in the county
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: lock up. Later later I heard him. Later, I heard
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: he'd gotten into a fight with another inmate and spent
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: time recovering from that too. We shipped his toolboxes home.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: I later learned he'd struggled with drug and alcohol benches periodically.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: He had kids. He had real talent and it was
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: a complicated story. And then this says he was an
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: incredibly skilled person and he was also undeniably dangerous and
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: it could have costed lives. So that day taught me
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: a hard lesson about safety and judgment and talent does
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: not excuse it.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: That's what's crazy is that you make a threat. Like yeah,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: as crazy as that, and like, but you should have
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: just called and said, hey, I'm not coming in, Like
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: he didn't ye for two weeks and said nothing. It
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: could have been easily avoided.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean even his wife didn't know where he was.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Like that's a scary thought, Like you call somebody's wife
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: and it's not like he's just like playing hooky, He's
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: he's missing.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like that's all.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Right because she probably thought that he was at work.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, some of those days, for sure.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know if she's probably used to the benders.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe so I didn't think about that, but yeah,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: probably all right.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: My second one is a little bit shorter. A few
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: days into his new job, the guy turns his camera
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: on during a company wide zoom meeting at ten am,
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: and where is he laying in bed? Not sitting up?
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Flow on his back, head on the pillow, no shirt on,
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: holding his phone above his face.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: No, no pat nozzling.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: The best part, cameras weren't even required of the company
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: keeps theirs off, but he chose to turn his on
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: like that. When management asked him about it, his response was, well,
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: nobody told me what the working hours are. For the record,
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: they were eight to four, and if there's a company
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: wide meetings scheduled during that time, you can probably assume
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: that might be your working hours as well.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: So wait, he went to a company meeting, say, oh,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what was working out.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And if I joined a meeting and everybody has
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: their cameras off and I'm in bed, why would I
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: turn my camera on?
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: It's like it the one time you would like.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Turn it off somehow. Just it's like somebody joining our
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: meeting is.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Just saying there is like some weird pandemic of shirt off,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: weird behavior.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Nuzzling, bong hitting. We could just just do a series
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: on remote working.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: One thing that you could tell me that we shocked
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: me that some fool did on on a zoom meeting.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: It's just beyond me. That's craziness.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Wow, You I think.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: When I think about it. I listened to all these
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: stories all the time. The one thing that kind of
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: gets to me is like, you never that the person
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: you interview is so often not the person that you hire. Yea,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: they just they put up a really good show. Some
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: are really good at it. They're really good at getting through.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: And then as they relax in the job, sometimes on
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: the first day, but you know, oftentimes as they relax
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: on the job or as time goes by, they begin,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: you know, their true self begins to reveal. And you know,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: many times I think you don't even know who you hired,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: whether they were any that or not, until much later.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Right and then and then we hear stories all the
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: time where someone was great where I think this shore last,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: where you know, persons is great, and then all of
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: a sudden, you know, something happens and they just go
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: they go off the rails. Yeah, the hiring is is
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: just so challenging to get right, I think. Yeah, you know,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: for the people are who do it, you know, hr
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: pros and the talent folks. You just like, what a job.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, their hires can make her You just can
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: just make or break a company. And regardless, I don't
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: think they you know, you don't. You probably don't get
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: through a career without you know, some train wrecks. That
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: that's for sure, you know, and I think it probably
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: happens to everybody for sure. Well that was good, Yeah,
