33. Too Early
The fastest turnaround I’ve ever seen was this guy we hired in support at a tech company. Everyone knew that the structure of our network wasn’t ideal, but it worked, and we didn’t have the resources to fix it.We showed the guy the network diagram and told him this.
He immediately declared it unacceptable, marched down to the Network Manager’s office, and started listing off all the reasons why the network was “wrong.”
Yeah… you don’t lecture the King Neckbeard on the first day, and sure as hell not when you’re the lowest-level peon in the company. He was politely told to “get the fudge out” less than 4 hours into his first day.
