When creating an employee with an associated user, the work email of the
employee is copied from the user (or actually the partner associated with the
user).
However since this [commit], both the mobile_phone and work_email fields on the
employee are computed fields based on a linked partner in the work_contact_id
field. This partner is created on the fly if it did not previously exist.
Both of these behaviors interact in such a way, that the linked partner of the
employee is created automatically using the email from the linked partner of
the user. This is a bug, since both linked partners of the employee and the
user should be the same.
The bug is easily resolved by adding the work_contact_id field directly to the
values dict for the creation of the employee (instead of the work_email).
Reproduction steps: the bug can be easily triggered by repeatedly installing
and uninstalling the employees app. An extra partner gets created for each
employee in the master or demo data, after each install/uninstall cycle.
