"I'm bored. I think I'll try to destroy someone's life today, that seems fun."
Given the "recruiting agency" I wouldn't put it past someone to go "ooh, maybe if I get them fired, they'll come to me needing a job!"
So it's not boredom, it's just pure malice!
I think it's the other way around, if they get them fired it's an open position they can try and fill with somebody already on their books
Absolutely this. No recruiter with any kind of sense is going to go "Hey, does your boss know you're on Twitter all day? That's sooooo inappropriate. Imma tell him! Also, when he fires you, I can pair you up with a great opportunity!" If they have a job that needs filling, and they think you're a fit, they won't care that you're already employed. In fact, as they get a percentage of your salary if you sign, they like it that you have some bargaining power.
This is cozying up to the employer, telling them that they have a problem employee, and presenting themselves as a solution to that problem.
That certainly makes more sense!
Although if I were an employer, I don't know if I would accept a person from some recruitment place that stalks my employees. And since the recruitment place didn't KNOW he was his own boss, it's not like they've previously done business.
But hey, shoot your shot, right?
