Be Careful How Much You Brag Over Email

Stupidity

from the hasn't-he-learned? dept

Obviously Peter Chung has never heard of Claire Swire. Chung, upon taking a new job with the Carlyle Group in Seoul, Korea, sent out quite an email bragging about his life style which seemed to involve quite a lot of sex and partying while other investment bankers at the firm acted as his personal servants. His friends who received the email did what any good set of friends would do (just ask Bradley Chait) and forwarded the message on to everyone they could think of. The email snowball continued onward eventually reaching (of course) a managing director’s email box. The MD then woke up Chung’s boss in the middle of the night to fire him.
