An executive tried to liven up a dull day at the office by stripping naked to interview a 25-year-old woman, a court heard yesterday.
Saeed Akbar, 35, said at first that it was part of his "tough interviewing technique" but later admitted that he was bored and wanted a "cheap thrill".
He asked the woman, who was applying for a translator's job, if she minded if they took their clothes off. When she refused, he left the room for a few minutes and returned naked, carrying only a clipboard.
He got dressed again when she objected to his behaviour and tried to resume the interview. But the woman fled the offices of Alpha Translating and Interpreting Services in Glasgow and reported him to the police.
Akbar, a father of one, escaped jail after the city's sheriff court heard that the incident had had a catastrophic effect on his life.
Sheriff Brian Lockhart said he had been sacked, his girlfriend had left him and his friends had deserted him.
Akbar, of Dunfermline, Fife, had pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to breach of the peace and was put on probation for three years. He was also placed on the sex offenders register.
m'kay
hmmm ping
I have gone on way worse job interviews.
Can't ever imagine why his girlfriend would leave him.
Thanks for the ping, Pax!
I used to do that but stopped when interviewees kept asking about "short work weeks" and "employee shrinkage."
Been out - just got home and need rest...
Tomorrow...
The people outside the wall are making thumping and booming noises right now...
How rude.
But it is tomorrow.
Well, here it is, anyway.
Thrusday morning, 9:30 a.m. - signing off for a while to get some work done.
Good night and sleep tight, Statesiders!
Akbar Fubar !...........LMAO !!! He's quite the dweeb !
