Corporate bellendary at work.

Who the fuck employed him? Was he actually ever interviewed?

He was interviewed numerous times, twice by me and no signs whatsoever of being a loon, a dour Scotsman maybe.

 

He visited site for a morning.

 

His references checked out, as did his work history, seems the guy has snapped and done a mental.

 

He's been in the job ten days...

[Elite]

He must have taken the 'soul destroying job' tag too literally.

[tokyojoe]

Well, I presume he is still in his probationary period so you are able to get rid.

Oh, yeah, he's done and in quite a spectacular way.

I referenced him briefly another time in another thread when alarm bells started ringing.

 

'So, you're from Glasgow, you Rangers or Celtic?'

 

'A bit of both really'

 

Marked his card that day, now he's threatening to steal the soul of a Canadian for not respecting him enough in a supermarket exchange.

 

All very normal.

Sounds a bit schizophrenic to me!

You might have been joking about the Celtic Rangers thing but the ‘stealing souls’ bit is definitely ringing alarm bells.

 

I don’t suppose he made any reference to a psychiatric history in his application?

Been around the guy for two weeks, pretty intensely, as have lots of others and nothing at all seemed out of place and I’ve been around plenty of serious mental health issues in my time. 
 

Very, very odd.

 

I’ll keep you posted.
 

 

[Oh Buoy]

Did he look like this?

Schizophrenic or twat.

 

Sounds like a Partridge pitch.

 

 

[Creator Supreme]

Is your workmate hyperactive?

Or is he perhaps a twat?

[Rico1304]

Give him the benefit of the doubt, having someone who could steal souls might be useful in the long run.

I knew somebody would get the reference.

So, he turns up like nothing has happened despite saying he was going to claim the souls of fellow work mates and announces that he meant every word of it and ‘that’s how we do it in Glasgow’ before being escorted off the premises…

 

He’s quite clearly a few bricks short, but completely rational throughout. 
 

Claims this has never happened before, but this guy deserves it, one of the nicest open people you’d ever meet.

 

He’s just thrown away the best job he’s likely to come across here, his wife’s career as she also works for us and his sons education that could open doors not available to the vast, vast majority.

 

Utter fucking madness.

Talking about ‘claiming people’s souls’ is not rational unless maybe he’s talking in a religious sense…but then that’s a whole conversation in itself

When I wrote rational i meant that he was presenting it as rational and very matter of factly.

 

Very odd.

 

About two minutes ago the person he's threatening of stealing the soul of received an apology along the lines of I've never done this before, i don't know what came over me.

 

Conveniently after his wife had returned home from work and found out what had happened...

[Trumo]

Everyone else should turn up in a ginger wig, taking his soul-stealing powers away in one fell swoop.

 

[mattyq]

Maybe he's a vampire

Hahahahahaha fucking hell. I can live with threats of violence, soul stealing and even the odd shit in the work kettle but that's just beyond help 

 

 

 

I suspect this won't be the last of it. 

[Rico1304]

I still think a soul hoover would have its uses.  Maybe just have him as a contractor. 

[Bjornebye]

Can you ask him if we can have Marvin Gaye back?
