Our new resource turned out to be a big fat "no hire" with no skill set, a big head and an attitude problem. The guy has never seen any OOD in his life, has no respect for coding standards, no experience in team work, no understanding of PC hardware, doesn't know what "K&R" or "Stroustrup" are. Basically, he lacks all skills the company paid for.
But my main problem is that his motivation for getting the job was completely different from the rest of us: You see, he is fit for combat duty. So, nearing the end of his senior year of high school (when he was already a full year older than his peers, for reason unknown), he had several choices:
- Enlist, serve three years in infantry, armor or artillery.
- Go to college, get a degree, serve six years as an engineer (three years paid).
- Stay in school for an extra year, get an associate degree, serve four to five years (a year or two paid).
He probably decided real military service is for suckers and college is hard, so what kind of associate degree to get? Mechanics, electronics, software. "Computers" sounds like "money", so a year later here he is.
Now, his goal successfully met, he has no motivation to work hard or learn anything.
And his fucking Israeli attitude! @#$%^&*!
