Facebook girl sacked

[A Very Super Market]

That doesn't work on Facebook, unless you don't want anybody recognizing you, which would defeat the purpose..

Arrogance on side of the company. I personally never liked to work in jobs that I needed to do just because of the money, but had to accept such arrangements for some time. But I also accepted arrangements were I worked unpayed - because the job gave me something that meant more for me than money.

If you need to work in a bad job only because you need the money, then you really are a poor bastard and every minute of working time feels like an hour for you. That is a lot of seconds-counting over one day's shift.

BINGO!

I work for a grocery and while Management is respectful the customers are growing more and more arrogant by the day.

Thus what started as a job that went by quickly and was fun turned into one where time drags on and breaks the spirit.

One thing that I look forward to with robots taking over the workforce is that these arrogant customers will have nobody to abuse freely anymore.

Things are bad enough for me. I can hardly image what it is like for someone to be in a similar position full time.

Oh and BTW for you "Get an education bums!" folks that want to use such a reply. You obviously have no idea what coming home with a broken spirit is like. And more and more of these folks in such a position ARE educated! Even at times doctorates! Who often don't get hired because they are considered overqualified..

This company is getting one hell of a bad press run here.

Being held responsible for ones actions is a strange concept to some people.

You take that wrong.

Read, carefully, what Steve Ivell said.....

Ah dear.

I sued to work in a supermarket like you Zachstar. I did it for the money as I couldn't get anything else at the time and had a family to feed. Was the job boring, yes, were some of the customers arrogant, yes but I had the sense to keep any badmouthing to myself or brought it home.

The difference is we have a 16 year old, possibly her first job and from having seen a fair number of them come through where I work they think they are owed interesting work.

Skybird what you left out of that was according to her former boss she had been hinting at having secured another interview at some other company. In that case it would make it untenable. You have someone on a public website slagging off the company she is working for and she is looking to leave anyway. Can't blame them.

The thing is how did this hit the news? Who went running off to the press?

I wouldn't be so quick to as say she was stiched up by her work mates. Given that she invited everyone to be her friend there's a chance she invited teh boss to and he saw it. She also might not have mentioned the name of teh company in her comment but I'm willing to bet her friends knew where she was working and word of mouth works very fast, you just never can tell.
