A BUILDING boss who vowed never to hire another snowflake again was left bitterly disappointed when his next employee failed to show up.
Adam Weedon, 40, had hoped to hire labourers for his company Ad-A-Brick Building Services in Chatham, Kent, and attempted to weed out unsuitable candidates with a very blunt job ad.
The no-none-sense boss shared his advert on social media, insisting the role involves "hard work, so no snowflakes need apply".
But despite finding an applicant willing to work, Adam received a call 20 minutes before his new employee's first day – telling him they would not be coming in.
Adam told The Sun Online: “I’ve had a few [responses to the ad].
“I asked someone to start today but they didn’t turn up – just had a bad night.
“He text me about 20 minutes before I was due to meet him.”
It comes after Adam unsuccessfully hired 10 blokes aged 30 or under over the last 12 months who "love" their phones and walked off the job because they found the role "too hard".

Asked whether he thinks his latest no-show was a “snowflake," Adam added: “More than likely.
“They have it too easy.
“I need someone with a good work ethic, not on Facebook or texting their missus all day.”
The frustrated building boss said he wrote the advert after reaching the end of his tether hiring blokes who weren't up to the task.
He said the idea had been "bubbling up" for a while as he has heard similar stories from pals in the industry.
The boss explained: "I've been looking for a building labourer and wrote the 'no snowflake' advert as everyone nowadays wants a job but doesn't want to work for the money.
"I've had 10 people over the course of a year.
"They all love their phones too much and find the work, such as pushing a wheelbarrow, laying slabs and doing drives and pathways, too hard."
From now on, Adam says any worker of his will need to be willing to work and not get tired behind a wheelbarrow.
But after struggling to find anyone successful so far, he is starting to lose hope.
Adam added: “I’ll just plod along on my own for a minute.
“You plan a diary and then it goes t*ts up and everyone lets you down.
“If anyone seems half decent I’ll give them a chance.”
