Bank intern busted by Facebook

Kevin Colvin, busted by FacebookWho says Facebook is the province of the young? Increasingly, the 30something bosses of naive recent college grads are proving adept at turning the social network against its earliest adopters. Kevin Colvin, an intern at Anglo Irish Bank's North American arm, was busted when he told his manager, Paul Davis, that he'd miss work due to what colleagues took to be a "family emergency". Davis turned up the photo above, freshly posted to Facebook from the Halloween party Colvin apparently missed work to attend, and attached it to his reply, copying the rest of the office as he did it. The email thread is now spreading around the net. After the jump, the entire exchange, and the incriminating photo.

Paul/Jill - I just wanted to let you know that I will not be able to come into work tomorrow. Something came up at home and I had to go to New York this morning for the next couple of days. I apologize for the delayed notice. Kind regards, Kevin

Kevin, Thanks for letting us know—hope everything is ok in New York.  (cool wand) Cheers, PCD

Kevin Colvin, busted by Facebook

There is a new intern on my team who has called in 'sick' on a couple of occasions.

Below is Paul's response to him...he BCC'd the whole office
