    I was a semi-truck driver through the '00 and '10s. The dumbest thing I saw a new hire do was that on his first night out he managed to set his trailer on fire by driving down the interstate with the trailer brakes engages. By the time he pulled over the tires were exploding from the heat. He was supposed to have 5+ years of experience but he didn't understand how air brakes work which is a fairly basic thing. Guy didn't loose his job that night, but he didn't last a month after he had a mechanical issue with his truck but kept driving instead of calling for roadside assistance. Did something like $25K in damage to the rig.

    A new tech quit a few minutes after he started his first day. His excuse was that 'Any shop tha doesn't have every manual is crap!" It was an off brand TV, but we could have had the Sams for it within three hours. He wasn't missed.

We were running out of room rto store them, so we stopped subscribing to monthly ship,emt and only orded them as needed for new equipment. How was your internet service in 1975?

    4 years ago, I had this one coworker he was on snapchat. He was in one of the vehicles, and he just revved up the engine while it was still in the service area. All we do is take the car to the back parking so it can get its normal maintenance. But revving while parked, he may have added more problems for the customers.

    the amount of new people i’ve seen not know what they were doing when sent to my area astounds me. i trained a good 60 people to do my job. the area got a massive change so even experienced people had trouble on the conveyor belt. i’d explain the basic 3 things you need to do to do the job and they still wouldn’t understand half the time. put the part on the product until you’re box is 1/3 dump what’s left into my box full then restock repeat. people sometimes couldn’t keep up, miss too often, refuse to pick up the box, or jump vanish mid way through the day.

    Here's a story So I work fast food and I had several new employees as cooks come in and be idiots Once, a guy got angry at my manager because she was trying to help the new guy with our fry products And he kept getting pissed off and not even 3 days later he was fired for his poor behavior To make matters worse, a lady from corporate was there and she watched the whole thing 💀 We immediately defended our manager (Our managers actually have our backs, so we have theirs. Basically good managers) And he was pissed that we defended her We had another guy throw stuff away and our boss had enough so she fired him too (after being told repeatedly to stop and warned) We had more people do no call no show regularly We also have people constantly quitting due to working 5 days a week (That's literally a normal week)

    I used to work with M as a traffic controller/lollypop man. One day M was working, there was a grader on the road so traffic was blocked for about 10-20 minutes, M was holding about 5 cars, M realised he needed to take a shit. His Options were: A) get someone else to hold the sign for a few minutes. B) explain to the car his predicament and get them to wait for a minute until the road is clear. C) drop the sign dive off road and shit in bush. D) drop pants, shit, stand up and pretend you didn't just shit Infront of 5 cars. He picked D He also felt the need to tell people this embarrassing story with pride along with the stories of his heroin and ice usage. He eventually got fired for threatening to kill our bosses family. Apparently when he was young he also went to jail for gutting his own father.

    I work in a kitchen and there are so many ways to get hurt. Kevin at 18 years old So I gave him a quick run through on how to handle kitchen knives safely. Forgot to tell him that water steams and has bubbles when it boils, so before he poured the pasta into the water he would check if the water was boiling by putting his whole hand in the boiling water

    I've told this story before but this one seems appropriate In primary school (in the early 2000's, and I'm Australian), my mum worked in the schools canteen with one other person full time, at on at one point they sold hot drinks, soup and cup noodles (these were labeled pick up and lunch time only items) you could only buy if put in a lunch order at the start of the day. (normally their order on something like a paper bag with their name, order how much everything cost written on it, put in to a basket and one or two of the students would take the basket over, and pick it up at lunch time, if ordered say a hot chocolate, you'd collect your non-pick up items and show you teacher the bag for you to go and collect it, they put a caution HOT warning on the menu's, and made that 20 - 30 minutes before lunch started. After kids ranging from prep to grade 6 either burned their tongues or spilt it on them selves, my mum and the other canteen worker, talked to the principal, vice principal, the head of the nurse office and several other members, all of whom agree these items should be taken off the menu, despite being told repeatedly they were taken off the menu students still tried to order them. (students who did were asked to pick something of the some price or cheaper). Any way after both my mother and the other lady left (I had graduated at this point) the school hire a catering company to take over, putting all the banned items back on the list according to friends of my brother and mine more students had burned themselves and according to friends of my mum the burns were worse one the first day because they didn't give time for any of this items to cool down. The school was nearly sued because of this, I don't know what have happen with that, but I do know, - These items were again taken off the menu immediately, - Members of the catering company, some teachers and other staff members had to take a food handlers safety course over the break. - and have their new menu had to be re-evaluated

    The gas station call ins: had that happen to me. It wasn't two but five people called in sick. I was there 27 hours. I eventually got hold of the area manager and told him if someone doesn't get here pronto, I'd be 'leaving the place open for the fucking crows'. The manager and the area manager turned up 10 minutes later. After an investigation, two people were sacked. The manager didn't answer his phone on purpose. The same thing happened with two armed robberies, they called me instead.

    My partner works in IT at a school. There was a guy who was working there in the same department for his work experience year during uni. The behaviours my poor boyfriend had to put up with were unbelievable. One time, this uni guy and my partner were called into a classroom to look at something in the room, i think it was the projector or smartboard. Now the kids were concentrating on their work so when my partner and his coworker got to the classroom, the expectation was that they were to enter the room quietly to avoid disturbing the students. What does the uni guy do? Pushes the door open so hard it slams against the wall and makes everyone nearly shit themselves from the sudden sound... they probably thought it was an intruder. My partner nearly reamed the uni guy a new one for that. Best part is while technically, my partner was the new hire, he was hired as an actual technician, not for work experience, so he came above the uni guy in senority. This incident among a load others led to the decision that no, the uni guy would not be able to come back after uni. This dude was in uni and didnt even fill in his work log correctly for his work experience mentor. He also seemed to think that he would get a 1st (70-100%) in his projects when he wasn't even doing enough to pass. How my partner put up with it is beyond me

    I am working on a pig farm where we had a woman, 21 year old, who was educated as a vet assistant basically. She have the education to put animals down and all that. She missed to see sick animals. She could not take the decision to put animals down let alone put them down. I NEVER force someone to put animals down, I know how hard it can be, but to take the decision is a must. And she could never be there when I put the animal down. When I had used the bolt gun and knife I had blood on my hands and arms. She wanted to take some blood and smear it on her hands. It was her way to deal with all this. Once I saw her touch a pig I put down. So she could deal with it. She was hard to work with. She could not work alone and she could not work with someone. She needed help with everything. She was around 45-50 kilo so she had not her strength or weight to do heavy stuff. I know males usually are stronger but I am double the weight of her. She said that she knew so much but asked stuff she wanted to know. I explained but she was offended by me doing so! She is someone who change workplace just as often as most changes briefs. Unless she don´t understand that she having problems she would not change!

    Was training a guy for security. Fresh out of the military. Told him the very strict but easy sets of rules we have regarding what we can do. One of them is we aren’t lost prevention. We are here to be a deterrent and to assist if things become confrontational. The first thing he does is he see’s a teenager stealing a bottle of cheap wine and he throws this kid down a flight of stairs and puts him in arm bar saying he is under arrest.

    The restaurant I used to work kitchenhand at had a day where they brought in and tried out a bunch of new hires for front of house, with one having lied a great deal on his resume about bartending. His first task of the day was to mop the floors surrounding & beneath the glass cleaner, which is in a part of the dishwashing station in this restaurant. Said dishwashing station's a literal glorified walk-in closet of an area that's beside the kitchen, with another closet beside it for cleaning supplies. He was shown where the mop was and was left to his own devices, because he told the manager at the time that "he knew what he had to do". He then proceeds to pour industrial-grade bleach on the floor and sloshed it around for a bit and leaves, leaving stagnant puddles of concentrated bleach all over the floor and saturating the entire station in strong chemical smells. This is stuff that's meant to be handled with care to reduce the risk of chemical burns, as well as only needing 4% in a bucket of water, but he just splashed it all over the ground and called it good. I come in an hour later and find my entire workstation absolutely saturated & contaminated; the smell's so strong that I cannot even stay in there for long, I get chemical burns on my knees from having to get down and mop places underneath the benches & ruined a pair of workpants I'd just bought that week. He's asked not to come back come 8:30 after getting caught trying to get a woman's phone number in exchange for a very expensive drink; a drink he fucked up even preparing.

    I worked at a pet store that involved taking care of sick or injured animals in the back. We had a guinea pig having respiratory issues, which is common and usually easily treatable. We had to weigh her twice a day to make sure her meds weren't making her lose weight, and then write how many grams she weighed on the chart. There was one coworker who didn't really do shit and another coworker was very suspicious of him, so she took the batteries out of the scale to see if he'd still write down her weight, and sure enough, he did. He was never weighing her or giving her the meds she needed. Thankfully she turned out to be ok but he really didn't last at that job much longer. At my current job, a coworker told me about a new middle aged hire who only lasted one day. She claimed to be proficient at computers, but then she put the fucking mouse DIRECTLY ON THE MONITOR SCREEN and got confused when it wasn't working. I wasn't there when that happened so idk if she just quit or was let go.

    Stupidest thing was take his shirt off in the middle of the shop floor. Our boss is a character, he likes to say a lot of crazy things with a straight face because that's how he gets his kicks, and a lot of the time it is quite funny. The new intern was REALLY enthusiastic about the job and doing whatever any of us told him to do, and he didn't really understand what was a joke and what was real. One day our boss is razzing him about being young and "having not gone through puberty yet." The intern says "I'll take my shirt off and prove I went through puberty." Our boss says "yeah do it" probably expecting him to chicken out. The dude takes off his shirt and shows off his gorilla back as proof he went through puberty.

    I was accused of being the stupid new hire. I once got a written warning from a manager for taking over an hour during my fifteen-minute paid break, the manager documented in the written warning that I went outside for a smoke break and didn't return for over an hour. This was completely untrue so I went to to HR to discuss the issue where I read the report. I pointed out that I did not and (at that point anyway) had never smoked, and the time when I had allegedly disappeared I was actually documented as being present in a meeting with HR as a support person. Yeah, the manager turned out to be the stupid new hire.
