Exactly one day. We received corporate cards prior to our first day and flew into Charlotte for training. Explicitly told me o only use corporate cards for food and travel. Apparently, he went shopping at the mall. Was on a flight back home that night

I hired an intern and 2 of first 4 days she emailed right before work about not coming in because she was “sick”. She didn’t make it to the 5th day.

Depends.
Hourly gig? 1 day. Fraternity brothers was hired for a security gig and was caught sleeping on the job on the first day and got canned.
Salary work? 1-2 weeks, which is an accomplishment given the office I work in. This person lied about her qualifications to get the job and immediately proved herself incompetent through repeatedly doing several amateur screwups that others had to fix.

2 days, new hire "forgot" to mention his felony assault...on a police officer. I guess he thought it wasn't that important.

We hired a young engineer (female) who quit after three days because of another offer. I really didn’t blame her if she was interviewing at the same time and her ‘better offer’ just came a little late.
However, I know a guy at the company she went and quit that job after 6 months for a better offer. Somehow I wonder how people like this make a career out of decisions like this.
Fired a guy his second week once because he failed a drug test. Company policy.

Depending on the field you can get away with that shite.
My cousin managed to string together about 3-4 jobs like that where one paid for his undergrad, a different paid him for grad work, one put him up in South Korea for several years with weeks at a time off to either return him or travel the world, and once after he got back.
Of course, the one time he decided to stay they ended up laying him off.

Me, I lasted one hour.
Showed up to where my desk and puter wasnt even set up yet. Stood watching them put it together and looking around at all the Obama stickers on cubicle walls.
Got my bag and walked out. They called begging to know why I walked out. If it took me telling them, they had no business being open

I worked at a non-chain stand-alone grocery store while in high school. Owner brought his 13/14 year old son in one day to give him a look at how things worked. Owner called his wife to come get the boy and take him home before lunch.

My guess is that daddy decided to sell off the store when he got older rather than let Junior frick it all up.

I see resumes from people in their early 30s with 10+ jobs listed in the previous employment section. Red flag much?
I made an exception on a similar situation due to pressure from a board member. lady left 4 months in for a “better opportunity”. At least her reference called and apologized.

I tried to fire a lady her first day on the job because I knew it was a mistake and wouldn’t work out. Unfortunately HR made me go through all kinds of hoops that took a couple months to let her go. It was miserable.

F100 company. Guy gets hired as an SVP with annual comp easily over $500k. This was back when the Weinstein stuff was coming out and was his first week on the job. He’s introducing himself on the CEO’s weekly staff call. He says “I can’t wait to know each and every one of you. And not like Harvey Weinstein *nervous chuckle*”
It went over like a lead balloon.

VP hired a new director for one of our regional offices. She wasn't keen on him but was overruled by her boss. He lived in another state and was planning to move his family up in a few months. He acted like a jackass his first day and my boss fired him and told him there was a one way ticket waiting for him at the airport. She was a bit of a badass.

Imagine being her boyfriend.

I can win this one.
Hire a guy and he’s from MS. Comes to the office in New Orleans for his first day to get his company car, laptop, and start training and all for the week. Shows up at 730am, says his hellos and meets everyone, and then he goes into the conference room to start training around 8. 5 minutes in, he says he needs his glasses and he forgot them at the hotel, and he says he’ll be back in 10 minutes. Takes his new company car back to the hotel, Never comes back, doesn’t answer his phone. At about 11:15 a cop shows up at the office. Says he found a car not too far away that drove into a restaurant. Says the guy driving ran after crashing and ended up passing out in the bushes on the other side of the parking lot. All on surveillance. Cop says he was drunk or high on something and was incoherent. Only way they knew to come to the office was looking on the registration and they saw the address and new it was right around the corner.
So this dude lies about his glasses, goes back to his hotel and gets plastered in a matter of 2-3 hours, and wrecks his new company car into a restaurant on his first day of a very well paying sales job.
