Why it
is never good when you see an advert posted for your own job...
After seeing a ‘help
wanted’ advert in a newspaper for a position that looks suspiciously like your
own and included your boss’s phone number, what might you do? We recently came
across this tale and this is exactly what happened to an employee of an
architect’s firm in Florida.
The
employee, confused, believing they were about to lose their job, made the rash
decision to go to the architect’s office and erase an eye watering seven years
worth of drawings and blueprints, estimated to be worth $2.5m (£1.5m).
Naturally
the employee was caught, arrested, charged... and then fired.
Making
matters even worse, it turns out the job was for the owner’s wife’s business.
Wondering
whether the employee submitted an application for the other role? Probably not.
