An employee doesn’t show up for work a few days in a row, you have to fire them the next day. Every day they’re pushing against the grain.

In my experience contractors are the most likely to be friendly, and small retail the most likely to be unfriendly.
In fact a lot of them do fail, maybe not coincidence. Also, "people skills" in some cases means being a manipulative sociopath.
