Stupid intern gets owned by boss via email
 

The following is a cliffsnotes version of a forwarded email I recently received from a coworker. This coworker knows this kid from back in college. The names and pictures have been slightly modified, as I don't want to completely trainwreck this kid. I already feel bad enough for him...


"Fred" is currently a senior at a relatively reputable college in the Boston area. He also interns at a large, international firm 2 or 3 days a week. He will receive college credit for the internship, as well as a future job (as long as he doesn't [censored] it up).

Fred was scheduled to work early on November 1st. Of course, being the day after Halloween, this simply wouldn't work for a college senior. He decided to email his boss (let's call him "David") the afternoon of the 31st. Fred told David that he wouldn't be able to make it to work the next day, as he had to go home to New York for a family emergency. Fred went out that night, got completely [censored] up, and slept in late the next morning.

The afternoon of the 1st, Fred decided to check his email, and found this gem from his boss:

"Fred,

Thanks for letting us know--hope everything is ok in New York. (cool wand)

Cheers,
David

Notice the gay makeup around the eyes.

Unbeknownst to Fred, a fellow coworker had checked his facebook page and found this picture from the night before. The picture eventually found it's way to David.

Oh, and David cc'ed the entire firm. Fred is currently freaking out.



This would probably be my worst nightmare.

couldn't he have just went to a gay costume party the saturday before like everyone else?

and always treat your myspace/facebook page as if your parents, employer, or current or ex girlfriend can see it.

ps. did the boss include the pic in the email?

Even with his eyes blacked out, he looks douchey

sounds like the boss doesn't care that much and just wanted to embarrass him a little. Fred should briefly come clean, apologize, and then continue on.

Yes, the boss included the picture in the company-wide email, which makes this whole thing that much funnier.

This is one reason why I don't have a facebook/myspace account. The other reason is that I am vastly unpopular and have pathetic personal grooming.

Re: Stupid intern gets owned by boss via email
 

yeah the first thing I did when i graduated college was set my facebook to private and delete all picture of me blacked out, etc.

Stupid, obvious lies are insulting to those who have to hear them.

This is awesome.

Boss -- 1
Intern -- nil
