Good, this is different to sitting down the pub having a moan.

I can see the unions and PC brigade having fun with this.

SteamWake · 02-27-09, 11:57 AM

All I can say is that she is a dumb ass.

Oberon · 02-27-09, 11:57 AM

Alledgedly we had one go the same way.

Schroeder · 02-27-09, 12:01 PM

Who needs the GESTAPO if we allready have the internet.

Zachstar · 02-27-09, 12:52 PM

The company stepped over the line and hopefully will be sued over this. But let this serve as a serious reminder that what you say on the Internet CAN and most likely WILL be used against you.

Careful on the libel there.

I'm with Zachstar on this one. If somebody worked for me and said that to my face, I still wouldn't fire them. I'd probably agree and then say "Well, you can live with it or look for something else. You're choice."

The person who fired her is the one who deserves the insults.

XabbaRus · 02-27-09, 01:05 PM

Yea, well I'm afraid I'd have sacked her. I see these 16 year olds like her who think they are entitled to the most interesting stuff and don't think they have to do the mundane stuff.

You should see her on TV.

We all have bad days at work but you dn't go posting things like that on a notice board whether on the net or in an office. Especially if everyone knows you.

If she did have the guts to say it to someones face that would be one thing and I'd have told her the same as Steve would, however she didn't.

I have no sympathy with her if you haven't guessed.

So I guess posting a picture of me in a thong on my facebook page was not a good idea

The picture is okay its the thong

Honestly if you put anything up for public display you can rest assured that the public is going to look at it.

Simple rule: don't say anything on the internet that you wouldn't want your boss/parents/clergy/friends/spouse/significant other finding out about.

Enigma · 02-27-09, 02:54 PM

Seriously, did she say anything other than her job was boring? IS that really all there is to it? Because if it is, this is insanity.....

I'm guessing there is more and not just on facebook. Other things at her place of employment that would want management have her gone. This was the only way to do it perhaps.

Enigma · 02-27-09, 03:07 PM

Yeah, I'd have to think there is more to this. Under the basic circumstances in the article almost everyone who ever had a job deserves to be fired.

SteamWake · 02-27-09, 03:23 PM

What is it about facebook that seems to suck the common sense out of people?
