It sounds like a sit-com plot: A woman opens the morning paper to the Help Wanted section and sees a job that bears a remarkable resemblance to hers, with her bosses phone listed as the contact number! Well, natch, she begins to fear that perhaps the jig is up. “How dare that bastard try to replace me without giving me any sign, not one solitary sign that my performance was down, that I was on my way out!”, she thinks to herself. “Well, I’ll show him! I’ll sneak into the office and delete everything in the companies computer files! That’ll teach him to mess with me!”, continues her inner monologue.
So, late one Sunday night, she does just that. She goes to the office and destroys about $2.5 million worth of company files! And, golly, does she feel better! A load lifted, a blow struck. Revenge never tasted so sweet!
There’s only one teeny-weeny problem: The job in the paper? Well, turns out was a position in her bosses wife’s company! Oops.
