busted by facebook: kyle doyle and the sickie

so i originally posted the full name and details of everyone involved, but now that sick boy has taken down his public facebook page, i think it only nice to anonymise.
the interesting thing about this, besides the obvious lesson, is if there are only two people involved in this exchange, how did this email go viral?

–Update 23/10/2007
Now that all the news media have reported his name…

Boss Man,
1 day leave absences do not require a medical certificate as stated in my contract, provided I have stated that I am on leave for medical reasons.
Thanks

Hi Kyle,
Usually that is the case, as per your contract. However please note that leave during these occasions is only granted for genuine medical reasons. You line manager has determined that your leave was not due to medical reasons and as such we cannot grant leave on this occasion.

Hi Boss Man,
My leave was due to medical reasons, so you cannot deny leave based on a line manager’s discretion, with no proof, please process leave as requested.
Thanks

    What a f'ing idiot! GOSH!

  2. Brian says:

    sick boy = Kyle Doyle

  3. jnau says:

    LOL. Here I am trying to be nice Brian and you just have to blurt out Kyle Doyle's name.

  4. Ryan says:

    Kyle sent the email to his friends and then it was sent around from there.

    It was kinda sad because he deleted all his own contact details but left the email signature of the operations manager there with his direct number and email.

    Not too bright if you ask me.

  5. belle says:

    haha yeah i saw that you didn't really remove the details after all! lol
    haha these guys are from my work & is bloody hilarious!
    he tried, and failed trying

  6. Justin says:

    on ya kyle , hold up the aussie way!

    who fkn cares , we all chuck sickies

    i woulda said ” medical reason is because im not fit to work “

    they wanna question it let them , typical managers being tossers

  7. jnau says:

    Would you have put it up on your facebook page though justin? :) When I did I search for his profile yesterday, his profile was completely public.

  8. Pony says:

    Boss Man sounds like a workforce Nazi

  9. Sam says:

    I think it's pretty obvious Kyle himself forwarded the email to some friends. He's so blarzay about it in the last post. If it wasn't the case he'd probably be trying to sue right now.

  10. Fakie says:

    This is a viral for Facebook, which is losing users. Did you login to Facebook after reading this?

  11. Richard says:

    what an idiot… in every way. The other way this could have leaked is if he sent the email to some friends or if his boss had distrubited the email to others. I tend to lean to the former. If that's the case, he's a loser in so many ways: creating a public profile, being a toss on a thurs night, throwing a sickie, posting his exploits on fb, then fighting with his boss, then the unprofessional last response (LMFAO, no worries man), then he (most likely) forwarded it to his stupid friend's to 'brag'… I hope he get's fired. I don't want to think I'm calling AAPT and they hold onto these idiots

  12. jnau says:

    It would be interesting to see what AAPT's stance on the situation will be.

  13. jnau says:

    I did Fake but I don't see that it would be in FB's interest to run publicity this way. It's kinda negative!

  14. jnau says:

    I must admit that in my working career, I have called in sick when it wasn't entirely necessary, probably didn't boast about it on the internet though. Makes it hard to get work in the future if he becomes known as the bludger who got busted.

  15. Pippi says:

    Kyle Doyle is sure to get his immortality in one of those annoying chain letter forwards. If this story is true, what a dim bulb. It isn't friending the boss that's the problem, it's people doing idiotic things in the first place, then boasting about them online. As for Pony's dipstick comment about the boss being a “workforce Nazi” that translates as “I'm a big freaking idiot!”

  16. Giddi says:

    It's not true, he faked the email. apparently he hasn't actually been off work sick in a while.

  17. theunkownmen says:

    thanks for sharing

    Blimey mate you are so dumb, you should`ve know that even your boss might read your entries man! What a tool!

  21. RRR says:

    Well, he WAS sick…lmao
