Dumbest Moments of 2009
EmailAn interesting piece to point out this morning. CNN and Money.com have a look back at the ‘Dumbest Moments in Business 2009’ (click for full piece). Here’s one of their top picks: A man named Anthony Armatys accepts a job in 2002 to work for a telecom equipment company. He then has a change of mind and sayes thanks but no thanks on the job. But the company started paying him anyway. It went on – direct deposit – for the next 5 years. In October, Armatys pleaded guilty. He’ll now have to repay the hundreds of thousands of dollars he was paid.

How about the so-called Stimulus Package’s cost of over a quarter million dollars for each job supposedly created? This could qualify if we considered the government a business, but then private industry would have a tough time competing in the “dumbest moment” category.
