38. Quick-Fire Hire
I was a house manager for a men’s ministry. We took people in, typically right from prison or other situations where they needed to get back on their feet and back into society. We got a new guy sent to us who had the shortest time of anyone there at three days. Within those three days, he complained about the amount of work that was expected despite signing paperwork that he’d be willing to do it.
He also left food and dirty dishes in the living room, left a broken, raw egg on the floor outside his room, took food from someone else, passed out watching TV, sold his meds for booze money, and got so trashed he slipped and fell, resulting in him going to the hospital. We told the people who were his counselors that he was just not going to fit in and had them pick up his stuff while he was in the hospital.
