An Iowa job board denied unemployment benefits to an Army worker who spent an “incalculable” number of hours posting updates about his beard growth on Facebook.

Todd Thomas was fired in January and details of his work ethic became public when he applied for unemployment benefits.

According to the job files obtained by the De Moines Register, Thomas lied on his résumé, made errors on personnel files, spent hours texting on his cellphone during work hours, and got caught sleeping at his desk.

He also made regular updates on Facebook about the progress of his beard growth.
