Description

What do you do when a new hire claims he got into MIT… two years in advance? Or when military police walk into your office to arrest your newest employee?


In Episode 11 of The Bad Hire, Ken Monroe and returning guest Emma Morgan dive into real stories of outrageous lies, awkward bathroom moments, and one guy who tried to earn sympathy (and pizza) with a totally fake acceptance letter.


You’ll hear:

– An employee who lied about MIT and got busted with Google

– A guy arrested mid-shift by military police

– A compulsive liar who left toothbrushes on his desk to fake all-nighters

– A 50-year-old feud involving headlights and petty parking wars

– A woman who relieved herself next to her car… and claimed it wasn’t her

– A receptionist fired on day one for yelling at the CEO over a stapler


These stories aren’t just shocking—they’re reminders that the red flags don’t disappear after the interview.

Key Takeaways:

• If they say “I got into MIT… in two years” — check the calendar.

• Red flags don’t vanish with a uniform and a smile.

• Never underestimate petty workplace wars (or parking lot poop).

• Trust your gut—and your background checks.
