What’s the price for not appearing in court when you’re being served? $1.26 Billion.

I can’t believe this. Pepsi lost a suit case merely due to a secretary that has forgot to forward a letter because she “was so busy preparing for a board meeting she did not deliver it to anyone”. Maybe this will serve as a reminder to bosses never to overload their staff with too much work else you will be making a bigger lost. Perhaps I should show this to the guy at the top… LOL!

But I like how Anonymous Lawyer worded his comment in a sarcastic manner about this case:

I don't know what PepsiCo was thinking having a secretary responsible for something. Everyone knows secretaries are only good for bringing in food and taking up space in the cubicles. And sometimes having affairs with, but only when extremely desperate and all of the associates are busy stamping numbers on papers and sorting things in the right order.

Company should also look into NOT overworking their staff. No one should ever pay for such an expensive mistake. Note to self, make sure I read through each and every mail that comes to my mail box from now on.

What's your most expensive mistake so far?
