Description

What do you do when a job applicant legally changes his name to Batman… and actually gets hired? Or when a fired employee pulls out two bottles of wine and downs them on the spot?


In Episode 9 of The Bad Hire, Ken, Dallan, and Nathan break down real hiring horror stories that will have you laughing, cringing, and reconsidering your next job offer.


You’ll hear:

– A twin brother cover-up for a cookie shop meltdown

– An intern who thought “That’s not my job” was a good answer

– A guy who legally tried to become Batman… for work

– A receptionist who faked her husband’s death for vacation time

– And a former employee who just wouldn’t go away (thanks, DoorDash)These stories aren’t just funny

—they’re full of caution signs for hiring managers everywhere.

Key Takeaways:

• You can’t train away delusion.

• Interns need professionalism, not entitlement.

• Sometimes the red flags aren’t even red—they’re wine-soaked.
