So, was working and through the shop talk, knew that three new temps were starting this morning.
Oh boy did they. My replacement got to the machine with a grin, seems 2 of the temps knew the other one and they started arguing about a previously stolen car.
Well, it went to the point I could hear screaming and yelling from the trio....Even over the machines noises, that's pretty impressive. It settled down for about 8 minutes then the screaming and yelling started again...I finished my paperwork and went to the front to see 3 cops standing talking to the day and grave supervisors...No temps as the rule was "You fight, you leave, you don't come back"
I'd have to say that was the fastest exit I ever saw... What have you seen?
The new sales hire who showed up half an hour late and banged his head on HR's door because he was so drunk he couldn't walk. He was sent off in a cab within ten minutes.
At my former job, I believe we had a new employee who could not show up on his first day of work because he was in jail. They went back to the job list to look for someone else.
In my first job, contracted to another company, one of their employees showed up for her first day as a lab worker, and then quit prior to the second day.
I had a temp job working in a Sony tube plant. It was hot, noisy, and you were mostly on your feet and moving. It was also twelve hour days, 5:48PM to 5:48AM, three days one week and four the next. It was very common to see new temps start, go out for their first break, and never return.
Not quite as fast as the others but we hired one guy for a low-level officer position. He was immediately brought into meetings discussing some aspects of the company's finances, which were not good He panicked and talked his previous employer into letting him return and counting his days out as vacation days. He didn't last long at the company he left, and created a lot of ill feelings in our company. Our company, BTW, survived the financial bumps in the road and is highly regarded in the industry 30 years later.
When I got to a new temp job, they asked me to wait in the lobby. An HOUR later, they said they didn't need me that day, and since they didn't let me work, they weren't going to pay me anything.
If you don't need me, don't make me wait an hour! My agency made them pay four hours.
I work in a nice automotive factory. A clean comfortable place to work and the job on the assembly line is tough, but not overly hard. I've seen temps come in and be gone by their first break, never to return.
Probably boils down to expectations of the job were not met and/or they are just to damn lazy to work hard.
