66. Worst Hires
I hired a guy for my insulation business. On the first day, I called him after he was a half hour late. His girlfriend answers and says sorry, and she will just wake him up. He’s still just a bit drunk from the celebrating they did last night, that he finally got a job. I told them to celebrate getting fired.
Another guy turned up, and I was training him on pipe lagging. He tells me he is completely illiterate and can’t count either. I said no problem, my son has dyslexia and proceeded to show him alternate ways to measure. He looks disappointed for a couple of seconds and then smiles.
He realizes we are 6 meters up on a scissor lift and tells me cheerfully, “I have a fear of heights.” 2 freaking minutes, and he got himself fired.
