One way not to move up the company ladder

Overly motivated employees might not always be an asset to the company — especially if they’d kill to get ahead. Literally.
Take, for example, the Indian man who created a job opportunity for himself by murdering his own father.
The father was due to retire the next day, and the son believed that if his dad passed away while still employed, he could claim his father’s job. Retirement is overrated anyway, right?
Even more incestuous — the son hired a relative to do his dirty work. After all, you can only trust family. The price on his father’s head: $2,500.
We’ve heard of white collar crime, but the murder wasn’t even over a C-level position — the father had only held a low-ranking government job.
