After about 2 weeks (seriously!) in the job the new employee just got up and left, never to be seen again. On the day he quit we were actually in a team meeting and once it was over, the employee collected his things, called a taxi and got a train back home to his parent’s house. The only reason Greg and I were told as to why he decided to quit was apparently because “he’d rather play video games than work”. No lie.
Excuse my ignorance, but just how exactly do these types of people get hired? Nepotism?
- sim0n 16y agoI believe our boss was pretty desperate to hire another developer asap (I'm not exactly sure why..) and we had known the guy for several months/year prior to offering him the job (so yeah, he sort of got the job as he was close to being a friend). We did interview him though and he was actually a fairly good PHP coder just a bit socially awkward at times (which wasn't an issue). Oh and he was also willing to work on a very low wage (something like £9k p/a) so that was a big bonus for our boss. Thinking back, I'm not that surprised he quit so soon considering he was only on £9k, lol. Thanks for reading the post though by the way :-)
