Re: Sacked by Ntl.
Personal view? I think what was posted was extremely foolhardy. It was clearly written from the perspective of an employee, appeared to be giving advice in a semi-official capacity, and then went on to insult colleagues.
Did it deserve the sack? I hate to see anyone get the sack, and I particularly hate to see someone who has clearly been highly customer focused (by way of offering help on nthw in their own time) lose their job. This was probably a mistake made in the heat of the moment...though the poster says they stand by the remarks. I feel desperately sorry for the person concerned, but having been in precisely this situation in the past with a past employer, I can honestly say that the outcome was never going to be any different from the moment the send button was pressed. Big companies take a stance on this sort of thing.
The other two 'charges' are possibly irrelevant, it's the 'bringing the company into disrepute' that's the killer...you just don't do it!
I'm not taking sides here...I'm being realistic.
