Kevin Colvin emailed his bosses late in the day of Halloween, letting them know he would not be able to attended work due to a family emergency in New York. When his boss, Paul Davis, received the email the following day he checked his interns Facebook, and what did he find:


Interns halloween costume, fired for absense.

Davis responed to his intern with the following message:

“Thanks for letting me know–hope everything is OK in New York. (cool wand)” -ValleyWag.com

Colvin did not really have any family emergency which he needed to be in attendance of, but wanted to party it up on Halloween.

The email thread between Kevin Colvin and his boss Paul Davis are now being emailed around the internet, really hurting Colvin’s online reputation. This is another case of careless postings on Facebook leading to being fired or in other forms of trouble.
