00:00:00.000 This one time, this guy I'd just hired,

00:00:02.520 he'd been with me for two months,

00:00:03.940 said that he got in a car accident,

00:00:05.320 he was in the hospital and he couldn't come to work.

00:00:06.900 So I felt so bad that I drove two hours

00:00:09.540 to go visit him at the hospital.

00:00:11.280 No sign of this guy at the hospital.

00:00:13.140 I drive to the address that he gave when we hired him

00:00:15.900 and his roommate answers and says,

00:00:17.500 no, he's been at his girlfriend's for the last week.

00:00:20.040 So I go, do you have their address?

00:00:21.340 Yes. And I knock on the door and she answers.

00:00:23.300 I said, is he here?

00:00:24.180 And she gets them.

00:00:25.120 And I said, we're done.

00:00:26.820 So now I just trust my gut.

00:00:28.340 If something tells me they're probably not a fit

00:00:30.560 and I'm micromanaging them now

00:00:31.980 and I'm concerned on their performance,

00:00:34.300 it's probably not gonna get better.
