In Episode 27 of The Bad Hire, Ken, Nathan, and Emma are back reacting to some of the most unbelievable hiring stories yet — including a Zoom interview that instantly went off the rails, a toxic employee who thought he was above everyone, and a hire who couldn’t complete the most basic part of their job. This episode is chaotic, hilarious, and painfully real. You’ll hear: – A candidate who stayed naked during a Zoom interview… even after being told – A junior employee who tried to go behind his boss’s back and take his job – An admin who couldn’t even write down a phone number – A referral hire who completely self-destructed in the interview – And a toxic employee whose ego eventually caused a major company issue These stories aren’t just ridiculous — they’re reminders of how attitude, awareness, and accountability matter just as much as skill. 💸 Think you’ve heard worse?
