worst new employee stories

There was a new employee who was always on his phone during work hours. He would take personal calls and text constantly, completely ignoring his tasks. It was really unprofessional and distracting for the rest of us. We tried to talk to him about it, but he just didn't listen.

I knew a new hire who was extremely lazy. He would always find ways to avoid work. When there were tasks to be done, he would pretend to be busy with something else. He would sit at his desk and just surf the internet all day. His lack of effort affected the overall productivity of the team. The manager had to have several talks with him, but he didn't seem to change his ways. Eventually, he was let go because he was just not pulling his weight.

One of the worst employee termination horror stories I've heard was when an employer fired an employee in front of the whole office without any prior warning. The employee was humiliated and left in tears. It was completely unprofessional and damaged the morale of the whole team.

I knew of an employee who spread false rumors about a coworker. He made up lies about her personal life and professional capabilities. This created a very toxic work environment. The coworker was so stressed out that she started making mistakes at work. It took a long time for the management to figure out where all the rumors were coming from and by then, a lot of damage had been done to the team spirit and the reputation of the innocent coworker.

One horror story could be dealing with an extremely irate customer who just wouldn't listen. An employee was trying to explain the return policy for a damaged item, but the customer kept yelling and even threatened to sue. It was really scary for the employee as they were just doing their job.

One new employee horror story is about a person who started a job at a small company. On their first day, they were given a task to complete by the end of the day. But no one bothered to show them how to use the specific software required for the task. They had to fumble around and ended up looking incompetent in front of their new boss.

One of the worst New Years Eve stories I've heard was when a group of friends planned to go to a big rooftop party in the city. They got all dressed up and were really excited. But when they arrived, they found out that there was a double - booking and the place was overcrowded. There was barely any space to move, let alone enjoy the party. They ended up leaving early and feeling really disappointed.

One typical element is unrealistic expectations. New employees are sometimes expected to perform at a high level right from the start without sufficient training. Another common factor is being thrown into a chaotic work environment. There could be disorganized teams, unclear hierarchies, and a general lack of structure. Also, cultural differences within the workplace can be a problem. If a new employee comes from a different work culture, they might struggle to adapt to the new company's norms and values. This can lead to misunderstandings and discomfort.

In a retail store, there was an employee who would deliberately give wrong change to customers and pocket the extra money. When customers complained, he would act all innocent. It wasn't until they installed cameras that they caught him red - handed.

One worst new hire story I heard was about a guy who showed up late on his first day and every day after that. He didn't seem to care about the company's rules. Eventually, he was let go after multiple warnings.
