My word if we all got sacked for saying our job was boring I think very few people would be in employment...... Hell, I used to tell my boss the company was s**e, the job was sh*te.....

Where will he find an employee that finds photocopying and hole punching anything less than boring?

I would like to meet that person, just to laugh at them.

No doubt one of those pompous s who lives in a big house while paying his staff so little that they can't afford a one bedroom flat but thinks they should live for the company just as he does. The joke is on him.

I was all set to rolleyes at her for being thick, but:

  • she didn't name the company
  • she didn't do it on work time
  • the sort of job that a 16 year old does at a logistics company is going to be boring
If I were her I would be looking into an unfair dismissal claim as the MD sounds like a right tool.

One of the places I work have a useless admin office. They moan when you ask them to do anything, always knock off early, and can be quite rude on occasion. I can see from their facebook pages that they just fk about at work all the time and even take pictures of each other arsing about. They slag the place off as well. They are old enough to know better and if the boss saw them I think he would be within his rights to sack them off. We all swing the lead on occasion and moan about work, but to document it (complete with pictures, names, places, etc. rolleyes ) on facebook is demented!

On the other hand, she may simply have been a useless waste of oxygen and this was just an excuse to get rid.

Can't see what legitimate (i.e. lawful) reason the company can use for her dismissal under the circumstances.
