Summary
What do you do when your brand-new hire steals inventory… and then falls asleep an hour into their shift? In Episode 30 of The Bad Hire, Ken, Nathan, and Emma react to more unbelievable hiring disasters — from fake transcripts and stolen office supplies to employees who couldn’t actually do the job they were hired for. This one is packed with chaos, confusion, and a few painful lessons along the way. You’ll hear: – A new hire who stole inventory and passed out behind the kiosk – A candidate who faked transcripts… and even created a fake university contact – An employee who took “free coffee” a little too literally – A cook who couldn’t make scrambled eggs – A lab hire working a second job during work hours – And a classic “great interview, terrible performance” situation These stories aren’t just ridiculous — they expose the real risks of skipping verification, overlooking red flags, and hiring based on vibes instead of proof. 💸 Think you’ve heard worse?
