A young associate with a multinational private-equity firm landed a $100,000 job, got situated in a swank new apartment and started dating some hot women. He apparently was so impressed with himself that he bragged about it all in an e-mail to friends. Eventually that e-mail wound up in his boss's hands. He wasn't as impressed. Now the young hot shot has no boss and no job. Just a guess, but the hot women are probably gone too.
