A former receptionist at a spa who was fired after just two days took petty revenge on her former employer by deleting hundreds of appointments from the computer booking system.
Lauren Arafat, 30, carried out the "sophisticated" operation over the course of just half an hour which led to her deleting 211 appointments. Despite this, she claimed that she does "not have any particular skills when it comes to computers", adding she "is known to be hopeless with technology and is someone who needs help putting her out of office on".
Arafat had worked as a receptionist at The Potting Shed Spa in Batley, Yorkshire, for just two days when she was "let go" by the director after exhibiting "erratic" behaviour, reports Yorkshire Live. Leeds Crown Court heard the 30-year-old, who lives in Elland, had been trained up to use the Phorest Software system, which was used by employees at the Spa as a way of booking appointments.
