00:00 r/BestofRedditorUpdates - The hiring manager [30sF] where I [30sF] am interviewing is someone I fired last year.
14:41 r/BestofRedditorUpdates - I spent £17,900 converting aspects of my office (break room, desk, elevator, and disabled bathroom) to make it accessible for an employee with a disability who requested these changes. They left two weeks after the work was finished. Can I go after them for some costs in small claims court?

| 0:05.7 | And we have some. |

And if you want to submit your own stories, go to the R slash OK storytime subreddit. I'm Dakota. I'm Riley. I'm Carly. And we are here. To give good advice goofily, but we don't have all the answers. |

| 1:03.3 | As OP says, she was terrible at her job with my company and fired her on her 89th day. |

| 1:19.2 | she asked for clarification on something a few weeks in. |
| 1:22.1 | She then packed her things and left without so much as another word. |
| 1:25.7 | Okay, so I see flaws on both sides here. Yeah, |
