What happens when a “perfect” candidate can’t even flip a piece of toast?
In Episode 41 of The Bad Hire, Ken, Morgan, and Emma react to another round of unbelievable listener-submitted hiring disasters—from fake résumés and sleeping employees to toxic managers and candidates who lie about where they’re from.
This episode is packed with stories that prove a polished résumé means nothing if the skills—and character—aren’t real.
You’ll hear:
A chef whose entire résumé was fabricated
An employee who literally slept under her desk
A manager who promoted himself while the real boss was away
A fake local who got caught in seconds during an interview
An employee who disappeared after inventing excuse after excuse
A culture-killing salesperson everyone was warned not to hire
Every story comes with practical lessons about hiring, leadership, and why skipping your hiring process almost always comes back to bite you.
