new girl

So the new girl started yesterday at 9am. She went into the 'Warm Welcome' orientation program until 1pm, when she came up to category to meet our boss.

At 2pm she came and sat with me for an hour and I showed her around and introduced her to everyone. Then we went into a 30 minute meeting, then she sat with Louise, whose area she was going to be taking over. Then at 4pm she went home.

At 9.10am this morning, HR phoned to inform us that Amber wasn't going to be returning to work. She'd quit. Overnight. After one day.

...

So, basically, she told HR she didn't like our boss (not possible, our boss is LOVELY); hadn't been introduced to anyone (the most blatant lie ever told); and that she didn't like the thought of 'chopping and changing' (I'd mentioned that sometimes Helen gets us to move product areas for experience - ASMs work according to the needs of the business).

We have concluded that she's a spoilt Princess Baby.

So now we're back to square one. I'm hoping my boss will blame me for 'losing' this new join and will take the priviledge of being Training Co-ordinator off me. That is the only silver lining I'm interested in.

'tis a familiar tale. Still, on the bright side, she wouldn't have fitted in anyway so you've all been saved months of in-fighting and sniping.

That's what we thought. Better she leaves now than after we're wasted three weeks of training.

Still annoying, though! We've never lost one before and then I go and scare her off!
