What do you do when an employee vanishes with your money, another claims to be Alexander Hamilton reincarnated, and a fired worker’s sister calls your office to threaten you?
In Episode 10 of The Bad Hire, returning guest and CEO Dallan Wortham joins Ken and Nathan to unpack a new round of shocking hiring fails—real stories from real employers that are so unbelievable, they almost sound scripted.
You’ll hear:
– An employee who got fired… then her sister called to threaten the manager
– A guy who ghosted the company after spending their money on another woman
– A résumé that somehow listed Harvard and McDonald’s at the same time
– A candidate who thought he was Alexander Hamilton reborn—and challenged coworkers to a duel
– And a cautionary tale about hiring missionaries fresh off the field
These aren’t just red flags. They’re full-blown sirens for hiring managers everywhere.
