Police: Woman Thinks She’s Being Fired, Sabotages Boss

A Jacksonville woman is facing charges after police say she sabotaged the business from which she thought she was being fired by erasing some important computer files.

With the stroke of a computer key and by pulling some important cables police said 41-year-old Marie Cooley nearly destroyed $2.5 million worth of computer files at a Southside architect company.

Investigators said Cooley thought she was being fired, so she deleted expensive drawings in an attempt to incapacitate her boss’ computer system to get revenge.

As it turns out, Ms. Cooley was not going to be fired.

But, I doubt she will be getting much of a job reference from her former boss.

  1. Guess I should have put that on Red Nation, huh? (I thought it was funny, though.)

  2. Well, it would have been too late to do any sabotage if she was being escorted out the door.
