if you handle this right he’ll be your biggest ally in the firm. If he’s socially awkward it might mean he prefers to get shite done and could be a great employee.

What’s keeping you from mentoring him and showing him the ropes of the company?


Lack of character, thinks he should be handed a manager title before helping someone, or both.

WTF, is this some gay Aggie shite?


weird name for it but, a lot of places have someone mentor new employees to get them comfortable with the company and procedures.

The guy sounds like a typical new grad making nervous chat on his first day based on your OP. It's his first day. In a couple of weeks he might be pranking y'all and teaching you a few new things.

Nothing quite like the OT. Posters falling all over themselves to defend a guy who is socially awkward, one day after condemning a dead kid with a really bright future for being irresponsible.

Why not take him to lunch and offer to show him the ropes?
Why not help a young kid get off on the right foot?

So you want to get some kid trying to make his way in the world fired because you think he's weird?

Your sound like a douche.

You do your work. You let him do his.

New hire (been w the company a few weeks), just stands in my door waiting to be acknowledged. Had the owner not acknowledged him first, I would have sent his arse home on the spot.


Have you tried possibly utilizing the door as a barrier?

Makes long drawn out thread insulting new kid thinking the OT will oblige
Gets completely wrecked
Feels stupid
Doesn't know what to respond to because everyone shite on him
Oh look a post I can respond to
I've gotten two promotions!
Realizes he is still showing the new guys where the potty break room is.
Goes and starts a new pot of coffee in the break room for the real leaders
