We've all heard about unfortunate emails that have entered the mainstream but this is the first one I've learnt of from Twitter.
It seems a job applicant had just heard she'd been hired for a job at Cisco, something to celebrate in this foundering economy. Thus she sent the following tweet:
"Cisco just offered me a job! Now I have to weigh the utility of a fatty paycheck against the daily commute to San Jose and hating the work."
You can guess the rest. The tweet was noticed by Tim Levad, a channel partner advocate for Cisco, who replied:
"Who is the hiring manager. I'm sure they would love to know that you will hate the work. We here at Cisco are versed in the web."
Somewhere in Silicon Valley the sound of a scream was heard...
