Share some new hire horror stories.

Well, I once had a job interview where the interviewer was constantly on his phone, barely looking at me. It was so disrespectful. I felt like he didn't care at all about my skills or experience. It made me wonder if the company had any professionalism at all.

There is a story of a new hire in a hospital. She was fresh out of medical school. On her first shift, there was a major emergency with a lot of patients coming in. She was terrified but held her ground. She worked alongside the more experienced doctors and nurses and learned a great deal. Her courage and ability to adapt quickly inspired everyone around her, and she has since become an important part of the hospital team.

Miscommunication is a common one. For example, the job description not matching the actual tasks. Another is a bad work culture. If the existing employees are unfriendly or unhelpful, it can be a horror for new hires.

One worst new hire story I heard was about a guy who showed up late on his first day and every day after that. He didn't seem to care about the company's rules. Eventually, he was let go after multiple warnings.

A new hire in a construction company had an interesting start. He came from a different part of the country and was used to different building techniques. At first, the other workers were skeptical of his methods. But when he showed them how his way could save time and materials on a small project, they were impressed. His new hire story is about bringing in new perspectives and being accepted in a traditional environment.

I woke up in the middle of the night. There was a figure standing at the foot of my bed with no face.

One new car horror story is about a brand - new car that had its engine fail just a few days after purchase. The owner was on the highway and suddenly the car lost power. Another is when a new car had a strange rattling noise from the dashboard that the dealership couldn't fix for weeks. And then there was a case where a new car's paint started to peel off in chunks within the first month, which was really frustrating for the owner.

Well, I heard of a new homeowner who bought a house only to discover that the previous owner had some illegal electrical wiring. It was a fire hazard, and they had to spend thousands to re - wire the whole place. Also, there are those who find out that the roof is in much worse condition than it seemed during the inspection. Rain would pour in during storms. And some new homeowners had a problem with pests. They found out their new home was infested with rats.

One new build horror story is about a family who moved into a newly constructed house. They constantly heard strange noises at night, like footsteps on the stairs when everyone was in bed. It turned out that the builders had left some construction tools in the walls, and as the house settled, they were shifting around.

One new employee horror story is about a person who started a job at a small company. On their first day, they were given a task to complete by the end of the day. But no one bothered to show them how to use the specific software required for the task. They had to fumble around and ended up looking incompetent in front of their new boss.
