I hired a guy to start on Monday. He showed up at 8:45.

No Bueno buster, you were expected at exactly midnight because that's when fuckin Monday starts.

Yep exactly

Yeah. I would have fired them on the spot.

Why?

Because if they came early it means that they not busy enough in their own life.

If life's not a one big hustle for you, you are not even trying.

(/s just incase)

I know this is sarcasm but the point of the lunatic was that he wanted them to come on Monday, a full day before.

You mean a fast paced environment?

Always tell these people that they’re despicable to their face. It’s the only way to change their toxic culture.

Wow, that's terrible. If I'm not there 5 min early to perform your interview, I'll apologize. Being on-time to something like that just invites time-wasting things like kicking the previous group out of the interview room or whatever.

An interview should be a 2-way deal, I'm representing the company and trying to find a good fit for the role, and you're trying to decide whether the company is a good fit for you. If I'm late to an interview, I expect any self-respecting candidate to leave after 15 min, and I wouldn't be surprised if they left after 5. I'm the one looking to fill a role, you're just here to see if it suits you, so it's on me to give the good impression IMO.

I was a naive young lad desperately looking for internship. I was waiting for one hour for an interview and then the hiring manager is a short lady with a stern face came to get me. I thought the interview was simple and easy enough but I didn't get the job. Looking back, it was a power tripping move. However, I probably dodged a bullet because I heard from a colleague in my previous company that the company I tried to get internship in is toxic. The employees there have been working there for twenty years and stick to each other, not talking to new people. It is an old boy's club basically.

I used to work for someone who would deliberately schedule 5 or 6 people for an interview on the same day and time, then sit and talk on the phone for an hour while everyone waited. She acted shocked when people got up and left.

yeah it honestly makes sense considering that what most job interviews are measuring is the candidate's willingness to humiliate themselves for the boss

Exactly. I'm not a lawyer but I struggle to find the legality of firing someone for showing up early for work. What nonsense.

Would have, if it were real. Hiring people is a bitch. You don't ditch people because they're not psychic psychos.

It sounds a lot like Ken Cheng

Feels to me like the lunatic's fantasy. Like, the guy really wishes he could do it, but realizes he doesn't have the power to actually go through with it. So he makes up these fantasies to make himself feel better and to try and garner some clout with his fellow lunatics.

Yeah, this really seems like it's satire. If someone hadn't blurred out the name, we would... Hold on.

A quick Google search yielded results.

And have to go through three months of "yeah, remember? he's the idiot that came in a day early?

And not even a succulent Chinese meal to compensate...

It's also a made-up story to make people think the poster is HUSTLE PRIME

Many places where content is posted would remove this because it contains "personal information" regardless of it being shared publicly or not.

I feel like self-censoring is the fad this part of this decade. Everyone's afraid for some reason. It's all blur this, black out that, I've even noticed police bodycam footage and news footage bleeping out curses and public information. People are more concerned with their "content" going viral than disseminating the honest information.

Reddit tendrils

My employee kept trying to take time off to attend his brothers wedding. Mom and I were distraught for months. We were his family now, and our only work son would betray us like this?

Showing up a few minutes early to work could make sense, but showing up a day early? WTF? Why would someone possibly tell you to start work on Tuesday unless there was some reason Monday intentionally wouldn't work? I mean ffs, either you won't be in the system, keys aren't ready, your friggin co-workers may not be ready, no desk... And you want to show up a friggin day early and make someone babysit you on top of their regular job?
