Stupid CoWorkers

I am a manager at a family amusement facility. We have people of all ages that work for us. One particular employee is let’s say “not all together there”. She has worked for us for about a year(I would like to say, I didn’t hire her). One afternoon while working our 3 story soft play structure she screams at the top of her lungs” Everybody out, he’s got a knife”. As most of the guests and their children exited it was discovered that a small boy at the top of the play structure had a small 1 inch pocket knife cutting through the netting. This in it’s self is not so unusual except that the child was not trying to hurt anyone, just trying to escape. This same employee was involved in 3 car accidents in one week, one totaling her car. It was just learned that she hit a pedestrian at school. Have you ever seen the movie the cable guy…we are living it! We also do Birthday parties in which groups of kids play in our structure. She will place kids in “time out” for not listening to her. One afternoon we discovered 12 9 year old boys in “time out” behind a small wall about the size of a hall closet. She makes my job quite interesting at times but I wonder if we were not kind enough to hire her where would she work? Not a driving job! I hope.

Stupid CoWorkers

I work in a local hardware store. Recently, a new employee was hired to work at the store. On his first day on the job he announced to everyone that he was mechanical genius and smarter than everyone else. After several days on the job I realized he was a complete moron. First, he misspelled grease. He spelled it G-R-E-E-S. Second, he put together a wheelbarrow with the handles on backwards. The final convincing argument that he had the intellect of a 3 year old child was when he put together an extension cord with the same part on both ends(both ends could plug into a socket). When I told him he made a mistake he simply asked, “What’s wrong with it?”. All I could manage was a laugh.
