New hires are almost always bound to mess something up during their first weeks on the job, but these folks made mistakes that simply could not be ignored. Of course, you cannot expect your new coworkers to get everything right on Day One. They have to adjust to a particular workplace's way of doing things, so it's only natural that they will do something incorrectly. Those kinds of mistakes can be easily forgiven because these newbies do not know any better.

We also have employees who clearly were deeply unqualified. Now, this could have been their fault if they exaggerated their experience on their resumes, which definitely happens. It could also be the fault of lazy hiring managers and recruiters who failed to read between the lines.
