Found in The Daily Examiner letters to the editor on the 28th May 2010:
Fired by text message
'YOU'RE fired'- a 16-year-old received this text message on their mobile phone.
They had worked part-time for about 18 months and everything was going well, but this person decided maybe a change was due, so decided to look elsewhere.
If anything turned up they would give two weeks' notice, etc., and part on good terms.
However, the company this teenager approached about getting a job phoned the said employer and asked for a reference, which is fine, but that was when the text was sent.
Don't you think a chat would have been more appropriate to find out exactly what was going on before giving someone their marching orders?
I certainly do, and I think for this employer to act like this sets a very bad example in bad manners.
I, for one, will not be setting foot in this store again.
