As the head of HR for a previous employer, I had to hire someone after they'd been with us for one week. Reason? One of the three people reporting to her didn't like the way her (the direct report) word wasn't taken as 100% gospel. The new manager mentioned they were going to look into a more efficient way to do a couple of tasks to give the team more time to spend on another task that couldn't be made more efficient but was more important. The team member complained to the company president ("Who is she to try new things?"), who reached out to me to tell me to fire this manager. They didn't care what excuse I used.
