What has he done?

 

[FridgeMagnet]

It depends. Generally no if it's just you don't like his opinions on the Avengers.

What has he done?

He? He!?! Who said "he"?

Yes, yes you can. But don't stop there. You should also go to their house, bulldoze it down and sow the ground with salt. You are entitled to do so and would be failing as an employer if you don't.

Doesn't it depend how long they've been there? ISTR you can fire recent hires without giving a reason.

Jesus. Don't encourage him ffs.

No matter how long someone's been there or how legal or illegal it is, it's bullshit.

Depends.

What sort of business do you run?

(what's its name and where is it based etc)

 

[mikedescala]

They go to protests and post this on social media they have been in the local papers at protests and named very vocal but seems to be on popular items currently anti covid previously pro brexit I can seem them next coming out on Israel can’t really fault the work but it’s been mentioned about them

 

[chilango]

Sounds like a wrong 'un. You're not unfortunate enough to have some of your employees in a Union are you? If so which one? Some of them can be a right pain...

 

[xenon]

No and immediate pay rise in a promotion. It’s a leftover EU law.

 

[maomao]

anti covid

So are you pro-covid?

Shit, sorry boss, you got me bang to rights...

You don't know what was said. A bit stupid to make assumptions and leap to the defence of someone you know nothing about.

Client facing sales so showroom with customers coming in and meeting staff

 

[xenon]

you can sack Piers Corbyn, that is fine.

 

[pug]

Best thing to do is give them paid leave of some sort, so they can follow their interests.

Need a bit more info than that tbh.

this guy isn't real, but you're still a scab.

how does that effect anything

does he scream his views around the office ?


Carry placards around the office?

also whos brought this to you attention someone after his job?

 

[mikedescala]

So are you pro-covid?

I love covid it worked wonders for my business dropped at least 50% this year

No. But I do know that arbitrarily firing someone is shite

No but customers have said it to me that’s the guy that was in the paper or some have come across social media posts
I know this is all done outside work and I’m possibly being petty but I don’t like it

 

[David Clapson]

Just fucking google it. Dismissal: your rights

without knowing what you don't like about what he doing

just makes you sounds like a shitty employer

 

[mikedescala]

My main concern is that it’s my business this guy is the first person some people meet when they arrive in and he could be at a protest over the weekend make the paper and have someone arrive on Monday looking at him going I know you and I don’t like your point of view and leave going to a competitor
