The “Scaramucci.”
The most absurdly short period of employment.
(Inspired by the “Pinkwater.”
A Scaramucci=10 days?
Only 18 Scaramuccii until my birthday!
Oddly, I knew exactly what you were going to propose before I even opened the thread.
He’s not even the shortest in the job if you go from date announced to date where they were unemployed.
John O Koehler resigned six days after being named. the whole ties to a Nazi organization did him in. That’s not Neo-Nazis. It’s not the much hated, but still lame, Illinois Nazis. It was German Nazis. He’d spent some time in the Hitler Youth as a kid.
I once had an employee not return after lunch on her first day. Never stopped by for her paycheck (three hours). That’s a fraction of a Scaramucci.
Piffle. Where I used to work, every couple weeks the lead trainer would take the new hires around the facility to show them where things were (Here’s the big break room with the microwave… here’s the little break room without). We called them Cheri’s ducklings. One morning she left the classroom with thirteen and got back with twelve. Total time elapsed, maybe an hour, depending on where he disappeared during the tour.
I once quit a job on my second day of employment. It was at a state mental hospital. One had to be somewhat crazy to work there. $12 an hour to babysit adults wasn’t my cup of tea.
My husband pointed out that Scaramucci was officially supposed to start the job in mid-August, so by that measure his job duration is actually negative days!
To use that measurement do you have to do the fandango?
Would 1/1000th of that be a millimucci?
Scaramucci did better than one guy a couple of Popes ago.
For unit conversion,
18.25 Scaramuccis = 1 Friedman
1 Scaramucci (or would that be abbreviated to “mooch” in SI?) = 5 Britney Spears Drunken Vegas Marriages (or “britmars”)
Was the workplace *that *hardcore or was it Cheri who scared these folks off?
I recall a great thread from a few years ago: “Tell us about the shitty jobs of your youth”.
One guy said he worked at an ice factory palletizing the bags of ice as they came out of the bagging machine. IIRC he said the attrition rate of a new hire group was usually around 50% by lunch of the first day. Every day was new-hire day. The fact the oldsters had figured out how to haze the newbies mercilously, while still just stacking the ice had nothing, nothing! to do with it. Or so he said. 
Just saw this:
Bannon lasted 21 Scaramuccis.
Well, if you’re going to calculate a training-to-production duration ratio, I once lasted two weeks in production in a call-centre job that had a little over six weeks of training. That’s, like, a T2P ratio of 0.3.
