What happens when a software developer spends years secretly building a “kill switch” designed to cripple the company the moment he’s fired?
In Episode 44 of The Bad Hire, Ken, Nathan, and Morgan react to some of the most unbelievable hiring stories yet—from a programmer who sabotaged his employer with malicious code, to fake nurses who fooled healthcare systems, and a CEO who finally fired the most entitled employee he’d ever managed.
These stories prove that hiring the wrong person can cost far more than just a paycheck.
You’ll hear:
- A developer who planted malicious code that activated after he was terminated
- A CEO’s most satisfying firing after years of entitlement
- A fake nurse who worked at more than 40 healthcare facilities using stolen credentials
- Another healthcare worker who used someone else’s license number to get hired
- Why proper background checks and credential verification matter more than ever
These aren’t just crazy stories—they’re reminders that trust, verification, and accountability protect organizations from catastrophic mistakes.
