Publisher's Note

Have you ever had an employee or co-worker do something damaging or disgusting upon leaving your firm or company? Well, here's a good one. I read about a woman who worked for a New York City publishing firm who left a foul-smelling statement upon getting fired. Nothing was immediately noticed, but apparently, about a week after her dismissal a stench spewed forth from the woman's cubicle. The woman had sandwiched a whole salmon between two papers in a file cabinet. No tartar sauce was to be found.

If you have a great story to share about the escapades of exiting employees, please e-mail me. Dig deep!
