Im so frickin embarrassed and a bit pissed off. But you guys have to hear this story.
I few weeks back, my wife asks if the company I work for is hiring. I am in sales and there is a pretty high level of turnover, so I said always. She asks if I can forward a resume to my manager. The resume is for the husband of a a lady my wife knows from a Moms group she belongs to. I told her that not knowing this guy, I was not going to give him a referral, but I would forward the resume. He interviews, gets hired, he had the proper qualifications, maybe over qualified. Anyway, we have nice sitting area outside where a couple of us have been know to have a Friday after noon cigar by a waterfall and koi pond. This happens to be directly below the Vice Presidents window. Albeit 4 floors down, it is easily visible from her office. Well the guys first day was today and on his lunch break he finds the sitting area and proceeds to pull out his pipe, and a bag of weed, Packs a bowl, and take s 3-4 tokes and lays his head back all stoned. This just happened to be at the same time the VP was looking down at the koi pond. She called in my manger, the HR director, and the president and founding partner to witness the event. I got back from lunch, to hear stories about this. Of course HR drew up his walking papers, and his desk is now empty.
I fn hate referring people for jobs. Not ever once has it benefitted me in any way, not that I did it to benefit me, but fuggit if it has ever done anything but cause aggravation.
The real bummer is that hes been out of work for a bit, has a wife and kids, and is 3 months behind on his rent, dealing with an eviction. And this is how he deals with it?
I mean shit, I deal with my stress by smoking weed too, but I wait til Im on my time, on my property. Fuggin douchebag
