Who Hasn’t Sent Threatening E-mails to the Boss While Drunk?

By Eric Celeste |

Interesting story by the greatness that is Reese Dunklin over at the DMN Investigates blog. Seems that Florida-based Office Depot may be under investigation by our AG for overcharging businesses in Texas. A whistleblower from Florida, David Sherwin, was the one who, um, blew the whistle. And blew it hard. Before the “disgruntled” employee was fired in April 2008, he did the following:

Sherwin has acknowledged sending an e-mail to Office Depot’s chief executive in which he threatened to “kick your ass so hard that you would fly across Florida like Tinkerbelle.”

Sherwin said he was drunk at the time and has entered rehab since he was terminated. He said he was frustrated that Office Depot superiors had not taken seriously e-mails and memos that he sent warning of liabilities from the alleged overcharging he found.

For the record, Tinker Bell is two words, no “e” on the end.
