An office bookkeeper has been sacked
after accidentally sending a text calling her boss a "complete d***."
Louise Nesbitt was dismissed from her role following the incident. She claimed
she sent the text to her boss by accident - rather than to he intended
recipient, her daughter's boyfriend. The full text described her boss 'Rob' as
a "complete d***," adding: "we know this already so please try
your best not to tell him that regardless of how you feel the need."
Immediately after realising the mistake, Ms Nesbitt sent a follow up text to
her boss apologising and asking him to delete the message. She wrote: "Rob,
please delete without reading. I am so so so sorry. Xxx." The Sydney
Morning Herald reports that Ms Nesbitt intended to send the text in January to
her daughter's boyfriend. He had been contracted to carry out plumbing work at
the office where she worked. See Also: Expectant 65-year-old woman set to

down to her sense of humour. Louise added: "That message came across so
wrong. Rob ... that is not how I feel. My sense of humour is to exaggerate.
"It is so far out of context ... please forget it and just go on as
normal." She has now failed to convince a tribunal that the message was a
light-hearted insult.
