30 Wild Reasons Bosses Regretted Hiring Someone
As plenty of bosses know, the learning curve at a new job can sometimes veer a new hire straight off a cliff and back into unemployment.
One Redditor’s friend had to sack a new employee for failing to follow a simple rule. Despite previous warnings that phones weren’t allowed on the construction site, a new contractor’s day took a turn for the worse when he dropped his phone under the seat of an excavator. He was told that he’d be able to retrieve his device after work, but the builder decided he couldn’t wait that long. He screamed at his boss, hijacked another machine, drove over to the excavator that held his phone and dug in.
“(He) used its bucket to rip the cab off his machine to get to his phone,” the Redditor recalled. “Needless to say, the agency took him off its books.”
Of course, this isn’t the only time a manager came to quickly regret hiring someone. More such stories await you below, with the wildest involving brawls, mid-work toke sessions and husband-and-wife scams.
