We've all done it. At some point, every leader has accidentally let Crazy into their company.

0:12.5

I've been in business for over 30 years, and trust me, I've seen plenty of people doing stupid

0:17.2

human tricks, the kind that makes you question your hiring process, your judgment,

0:21.8

and occasionally your own sanity. Because when crazy slips through the door, it doesn't just cost

0:26.7

you money. It costs you time, trust, and momentum. And most of us have to learn that lesson

0:32.8

the hard way. But sometimes, all you can do is let the person go, laugh it off, and hire better

0:39.3

next time. So today, Entre leadership's head coach, John Falcons, is reacting to stories our team

0:46.0

collected of bad, dumb, and just plain crazy employees and what smart leaders should do when chaos

0:53.7

shows up. Let's get to it.

0:57.2

All right, let's see what we got. They'd go down to Lowe's and Home Depot stuff and I'd get to

1:02.0

noticing, man, we're spending $5,000, $8,000 a week at Lows and Home Depot. That don't make sense.

1:08.4

1:21.6

And what they'd do is they'd get it and they would walk right out the door and right back into customer service and return it

1:28.6

for their money back well they got braver and braver and old bj had the crew in on it and say

1:35.5

look i'll give you a cut so he'd go return two hundred dollars worth of stuff a day give each guy

1:41.2

20 and he's making 160 and And that's what he did.

1:45.0

I feel bad for him, to be honest with you, because they're taking money from him.

1:50.0

And they're doing it in a way that they're not even afraid of getting caught.

1:55.0

I mean, it's a, it's a methodical system of bleeding this guy out of money which just makes me mad for him now clearly

2:05.2

he picked up on it he realized they were stealing from him which is good but you got to stay on top of

2:11.7

your dollars so that doesn't happen and you know maybe he could have caught it a little bit, but I'll tell you how he could have really caught it sooner, which is not hire these jokers. He should have never hired these people in the first place. And, of course, hindsight is 20-20, so I don't want to beat you up too bad, but you can't let people onto your team.
