The F Word.

Today is a good day.

ChocolateStarfish is someone I don't think I've mentioned before. Basically he's a dodgy whore - apart from his questionable sales techniques (his actual job is National Sales Manager), his general work attitude, relationship skills and demeanour have made him pretty much the most hated person in the entire company. Nicknames for him range from quite funny, to full-on insults.  Also, he has rancid breath - petty, I know, but holy fucking balls it's bad.

Anyway, for quite some time, our sales figures have been falling. No-one can offer a good explanation; clients have been backing out on us, or simply not getting back to us. We haven't been finding out why, and we're losing a lot of money because of it. As the National Sales Manager, it's his job to find out why - but he's always been avoiding the issues. Since he's the favoured employee of the BigBoss, there hasn't been much we can do.

Until now.

One of our clients called us up about a credit card charge enquiry, asking why they had been charged from Company X instead of Company Y. MidgetGirl'sMum (assistant to ShakespeareAccount) was also very confused - she had never heard of us trading as Company X, and had no knowledge of who they are. She mentions to iOrgasm about this, who goes onto Company X's website - which has ChocolateStarfish's details

It all snowballed from there. ChocolateStarfish had been full on rorting us - stealing our customers from our database, undercutting our quotes, ripping off templates/documents/etc, and has set up his own business, directly competing with us while working for us. To top it off, there was some real credit card fraud - he had charged a customer's CC for his first class flight international flight.

All of this came via reading his emails; he had used his work account to run his other business, thinking that nothing could go wrong (giggle). iOrgasm had asked me to get into his account, to find out what he was doing - instead, I showed him how to "hack his emails" (reset his password, log in via the webmail interface). iOrgasm now thinks I'm an awesome hacker, and everyone thinks that I was involved in getting rid of one of the most hated employees ever to come through here.

Now we just have to fnd out just how deep this all goes, but still - it's always good to do something good for your employer.
