Yeah, I bet you can't find a staff room down there either fella.

Found this guy just hanging out. ;P I even tried firing him but he can't move. And I can't move him either. Guess he's a permanent mole person now.

It happened yesterday. One after the other got lost in my zoo and was complaining about not finding a staff room. I had to drag them by their noses to the doorstep. It started when I re positioned the whole staff area. I think they remember where it used to be and want to go back there. The good old days

Maybe it's better to sack the staff every zoo overhaul. And now suddenly they all walk around with "I can't get to my work zone." They are still doing their job though.

You can try to reset the work zone to "No Work Zone" on his "Employment" tab. He is usually teleported back to his original work zone then (I know now funny that sounds ), and you can reassign the work zone again - or just fire him. It's a random bug that can occasionally occur.

I had this happen a few times except the guy was standing on the ground in the middle of nowhere and not in the ground. What helped was placing a path below him. Then he just teleported right next to a shop (presumably the shop he came from).

People are supposed to auto-teleport when they are stuck off path but I've had a few instances where they haven't myself. Once they were stuck under ground (and there was no tunnel) and another time they were stuck about 30m up in the air.... O.O

I fired him, and now I get a constant notification that he cannot leave the Zoo. I tried moving him manually, but he won't budge. Tried digging a hole around him with terrain tools and he just stayed hanging upside down in mid air. And I did try putting a path on top of him but nothing. I'll try changing his workzone if I can figure out how to unfire him (can you unfire staff). I fired him mainly cause I don't want to pay him while he's there, this ain't a charity I'm running, lol.

BTW, he is nowhere near my Zoo. He is at least a couple miles out in the middle of the map.

You can't unfire staff, despite getting the little message that says you can.... so annoying, I have fired fully trained staff by accidentally hitting the hotkey for fire while they were selected.

This might be a good one to report to frontier and share your save file so they can look into it. Staff shouldn't be out in the middle of nowhere like that, and him/her not auto-teleporting means something is not working right.
