I was given an apprentice to work with. He described himself as a Jonah and several folk refused to work with him. He wasn't stupid or careless, but things broke, went bang or wrong when he was around. I tried to build his confidence.
I moved on, but when I retired around thirty years later he turned up to thank me for trusting him. He told me stuff still broke when he was around!
