A temp worker quit on his first day then hounded his recruiter with foul-mouthed hate messages and threats of sabotage after she threatened him with bailiffs if he didn't pay a £175 training bill.
Leanne Makinson, 37, from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, thought she'd found 'one of her nicest ever' applicants to train as a courier last week, but was shocked when he called her to brand the company's induction staff 'all morons' on his first day on the job.
She said he had only been in the job for five hours when he contacted her complaining about the company, before saying that he had quit.
He then turned on Leanne, who owns Hargreaves Recruitment in Wakefield, when she reminded him of the £175 training fee he'd have to pay to quit.
Text message screengrabs Leanne posted to LinkedIn show him labeling her a 'stuck up little b****' and a 'disgusting person' for 'threatening him' with debt collectors if he didn't cough up.
He also said she 'owes him a day's work' and that he told the employer what a 'first-class a******e she is' - while promising to 'do whatever it takes to lose her the contract'.
Leanne said he also threatened to 'knock on her door'.

Despite Leanne informing him the messages had been passed to police, she said she felt vulnerable after the 'dark' exchange and shared it to condemn his threatening actions.
The man has since been blacklisted by Hargreaves Recruitment.
Leanne said: 'I've had my fair share of morons in my 20 years working in recruitment, but never anything like this before.
'He applied for a role about a week ago. We had a really good chat and he was one of the nicest candidates I've ever spoken to.
'He wanted to reschedule an interview, and there were a couple of people who we could have given the job to, but the company hung on for him because I said he was really good.
'Then on Monday he just called to say the induction's a joke and that it's boring. He started kicking off, calling everyone a moron. It was really disrespectful.
'I've not had anyone say that about this company. They're a really nice company to work for. It's paid training they get to do and they invest a lot into it.
'He'd only been there for five hours of the two week. He mustn't have a very long attention span.
'He'd told me he'd left by the time I'd spoken to the operations manager, then he started kicking off about covering the training costs, calling me incompetent and a disgrace.
'I put a clause in [the contract] that if they leave within an eight-week period they have to cover the training costs, and I go through that with them. I don't just chuck it at
