Starting a new job can be exciting and scary, especially during the first few months. Many times, there will be a probationary period. Your new bosses are assessing you see if you’ll be a good fit. Your every move is being watched. As a newbie, you’re learning the ropes, getting used to a new work environment, and trying to put your best foot forward—hoping to cement your position at the end of the trial. Or so one would think…
But one guy recently shared how he helped his girlfriend land a job at his company after she lost her previous one. Instead of shining, the guy says his girlfriend was “a horrible employee.” She was constantly late and took extended lunch breaks all the time. When her tardiness and lack of professionalism threatened to drag him down with her, the guy put his foot down. He left her stranded at a restaurant during yet another long lunch. Now she’s blaming him for losing her job. And he’s wondering if he was wrong.
