At my last job my boss, who is a notorious micro manager, hired a guy against strong ojections from my side. The guy was only one week for every two months onsite which nobody told me. After some while my boss asked me how it's going with him. This was the first time someone indicated to me that he already started working for us. I thought first it was kind of funny, but this guy turned out to be a complete disaster. E.g. when I asked him about his progress he was talking about abstract concepts while trying to evade my question. Multiple times I tried to make him commit his code to our repository so I could at least provide feedback about his work, but his answer was every time that the code isn't in a shareable state. At some point I agreed with my boss that my patience is ending, and one of my direct reports was tasked by my boss to supervise his work. Six months later, about one week before the deadline, a demo was scheduled and every action or click in the software resulted in errors. Since the result was planned to be presented in a broader context in the following week I promised to invest the weekend and fix the code. After looking into it for about 2h to determine where to start, I decided to completely rewrite the whole thing from scratch which I did in 12h. Only thing I reused were the webservice definitions since those were already communicated to others and their clients were waiting for our application. In the end my boss was angry at me that I saved our face, because he was kind of forced to fire the guys ass. My boss even accused me to have done this deliberately because he hired him against my objections.
