A clinic fired a new receptionist on their third day of employment as they called in stating they were too overwhelmed and needed to regroup.
The training manager offered assistance, but the new hire refused and showed no remorse or promise to be more dependable.
The clinic administration team decided to terminate the new hire early to avoid dealing with an unreliable or easily overwhelmed employee in the long run.
Although more details about the situation are unknown, the decision can be seen as reasonable considering the red flag and lack of additional information provided.
