I did a brief stink in construction working for my Father-in-law. We hired a new guy, supposedly a qualified welder. I'm an IT guy with no experience in construction at all, I'm basically there to do easy fabrication stuff and fetch and carry for the competent guys. I'm supposed to be this guy's helper.
Day one: He's late for work. "Some guy kept tailgating me I thought he wanted to race. Then he turned his lights and sirens on, I almost got arrested for fleeing!".
Day two: We go to the site, he needs to cut some metal. They'd just laid down brand new flooring. I told him, hey we should probably not cut right here we're gonna damage that floor. He told me to shut up. He damaged the brand new flooring, he got into a huge verbal fight with my Father-in-law and was fired on the spot.
...about three years later he's rehired. My FIL invites him to the house for dinner, I said woah this guy looks familiar. I said, isn't that the guy you fired? FIL goes, well everyone deserves a second chance.
The following day he complains about this stupid fat cow he met. It's my sister-in-law. Fired again. He gets re-hired after profusely apologizing (FIL is a big believer in second chances) he ends up working for several months after that before tripping over his dog carrying a pan of boiling water and ending up in the hospital for several weeks. He called my FIL first asking what to do, FIL told him call 911 not me!
No idea what happened to him after that, I know he came back to work for a while. I should ask FIL how he's doing.
