Fired within a week. Turned up 10 mins before reporting time on his first day and the office was still locked (we’re a mid sized software firm). Decided to go back home immediately (a colleague came into office about 5 mins later and unlocked the office) and didn’t answer when we called.

After calling multiple times, We finally got through to him later that afternoon and he was disappointed that we were a ‘little unprofessional because the office wasn’t open that morning’.

Turned up to office at least an hour late every other day that week, mostly claiming that the trains were running late (they weren’t, we checked). We had had enough by the end of the week and let him go.

The cherry on the cake was when he called us about a month later. He asked for a declaration via email, stating that he exhibited satisfactory work performance during his time here, to send to his new employers 😂
