A Man Sent Naked Selfies to the HR Manager of a Company That Offered Him a Job

Not exactly getting off to a good start

A 23-year-old man from Chicago, reportedly sent nude pictures of himself to the human-resources manager of a company that had just hired him.

Police said the manager informed them of the incident on Aug. 14, one day after the man had sent her two naked selfies over three days, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Elmhurst police chief Michael Ruth said the company had made the 23-year-old man a “conditional offer of employment” earlier in the month. “He texted the HR director and sent a nude photo of himself,” Ruth added.

According to the police report, the man admitted to sending the photographs but said they were meant for someone else. The company did not respond to calls for comment from the Tribune.

“My understanding is they’ve rescinded the offer of employment,” Ruth said.

3. Wait, wait, wait...

...he had a 'conditional' offer, she saw him naked, and the offer was rescinded?

Puts a whole new spin on that famous line from the original Robocop. "Dick, you're fired!"

4. Wow. So today when almost our entire lives are lived

online, even our sex lives, it's apparently a stretch in Chicago that someone mistakenly sent photos of his nude body to someone else with whom he'd recently been in contact?

LOL. I think maybe this guy needs to get out of Chicago altogether.

6. Once I had been out sick for two days and had texted my manager

To let him know I was coming in that day. I had been having some issues at work so I wasn't really looking forward to going in. I meant to text my friend "back to work today, not looking forward to it", but sent it to my manager instead. Yikes. I just told him that I meant I was sure to have a lot of emails to go through.

So now if I text my manager in the morning when I'm running late, I always delete it as soon as he reasons responds "ok".

8. We call that kind of thing a CLM.

Which stands for 'Career Limiting Move.'

9. I was looking for liability insurance.

The woman emailed me the information and I emailed back something like...sounds good...I'll get back to you. I got another email wondering if I was still okay about the ménage à trois. I called back and she said oh..that was sent to the wrong place.
