Having new hires to train can be a pain in the neck (just ask my bosses lol), especially if they seem not to care much about learning their tasks and the rhythm of the company. It's one thing if they make mistakes because they are new and still don't have the hang of it, and a very different thing if they are simply irresponsible.
Anyone can make mistakes when they are confused, but skipping work hours, lying about something you said before, and being generally not trustworthy are not innocent mistakes. Reddit user u/amethystkitten420 is a hotel receptionist who had a new coworker doing just that during the first two weeks of working there.
When these things happen, it makes you wonder whether they are doing it on purpose, if they are actively trying to get fired, or if they are simply not cut out for that job. All of these options are equally possible, but depending on the person, it gets easier or harder to realize which one it is. Even so, it would make no sense for someone who was hired two weeks ago to be underperforming intentionally. The logical explanation is that she's not good at her job, or maybe she enjoys making other people's work lives miserable. Not a very good attitude to have, but definitely a realistic option.
Having a bad coworker can drive you mad and make your job all the more complicated, so it's better to stay as far away from them as possible. We're not saying they deserve to get fired; they can still learn, and their performance can meet expectations. Still, they're going to need help from management and to receive the right warnings for their inappropriate behavior. Eventually, they will get better, or, worst-case scenario, the managers will have to make some tough decisions.
