He's there to pick bin bags up not fuck around, i'd have sacked him too. He was agency staff they're dispensable he should have just kept his head down.

He was going to claim unfair dismissal but he got cold feet

 

[Pegojack]

It happened in Hereford. Are they short of news in Scotland?

 

[Cooperman]

Silly behaviour from the guy involved and he doesn’t appear to be particularly remorseful. The local council is probably better off without him.

If he was on my payroll I would almost certainly have arrived at the same decision.

After reading the article, seems his boss had no feelings for him, so it may be the straw that broke the camels back (not the snowman)

Looks like the parents consoled the child by giving him a pie or two. Maybe building another snowman would be good exercise for him.

They should have just fined him an hour's wages.

I'm not sure how sacking him, i.e. moving him to another minimum wage job, helps anyone.

He was likely an agency worker, so it was an easy decision for the employer to make. Slightest whiff of negative publicity and get rid seems to be the mentality.

He comes across like an idiot, but would have been nice to see him given the chance to apologise to the kid and everyone gets on with their lives over what is ultimately an entirely trivial matter.

With all the CCTV and Ring doorbells on people's houses, people have to be more careful than ever what they do in public. I dread to think what it would have been like if they'd been around when I was a youngster and more inclined to do silly shit.

He was agency, if he wasn't they probably would have done that. Looking at him they might have even offered him to do that and he said fuck off.

A bollocking, definitely yes. Sacking him, probably a bit harsh. Its funny isn't it, that the elite of this
country can get away with all sorts, and they get a telling off, and told not to do it again, but some idiot,
because that's what he was, ruined a snowman and gets sacked, i'm not defending his actions, its the
amount of double standards going on, that really p****s me off.

 

[airedale]

Somebody should tell him to just chill.

Joseph's mum and dad have told of how he was left in floods of tears after watching the refuse collector boot the head off his 7ft-tall creation with a Bruce Lee-style kick.

:lol:
