Well, that certainly showed them…
Angry Employee Deletes All of Company’s Data
When Marie Lupe Cooley, 41, of Jacksonville, Fla., saw a help-wanted ad in the newspaper for a position that looked suspiciously like her current job — and with her boss’s phone number listed — she assumed she was about to be fired.
So, police say, she went to the architectural office where she works late Sunday night and erased 7 years’ worth of drawings and blueprints, estimated to be worth $2.5 million.
It didn’t take Steven Hutchins, owner of the architectural firm that bears his name, much time to figure out who’d done it — Cooley was the only other person who had full access to the files.
Police arrested Cooley Monday evening and charged her with causing greater than $1,000 damage to computer files, a felony. She was bailed out the following afternoon.
As for the job, Cooley originally wasn’t in danger of losing it. The ad was for Hutchins’ wife’s company.
Boy, thats gonna look great on a resume.

remember that guy here at , back in the old PLRMS days, who after getting fired spent some number of hours working an electric eraser over any number of plats before he left the building?
or was that just a legend.
