It may have been a silly question, but it’s an educational moment not a ruin a man’s life moment.
Maybe mute your microphone when asking your wife racist questions.
Well, no, he lost his job for gross misconduct. You can argue about whether or not that was reasonable, but her wasn’t sacked for being overheard on zoom. I hate that sort of headline. “I was thrown in jail for disagreeing with my bank manager!” And when you read the article it turns out the disagreement was about whether he should be handed a million pounds in unmarked non-sequential notes and it was held at gunpoint.
He was sacked for gross misconduct because he didn’t stop streaming to his boss and colleagues before opening his gob and saying the quiet part out loud.
Claim ‘private conversation’ all you like, he was ‘at work’ as long as he was in the (remote) company of his boss and colleagues, so the fact that he didn’t intend to be at work doesn’t mean he wasn’t.
I would be sacked if I was rude about my manager, regardless if they were in earshot or not at the time.
I don’t think what the judge said actually makes sense.
You can’t be sacked for private conversations.
He was taking part in a work meeting on zoom.
What’s private about that?
Only a small child can point out that the emperor has no clothes. The adults all have to stand there pretending and indulging the odd loon who is actually deluded.
This training is the modern form of Havel’s greengrocer putting up the party sign.
It’s no way a sackable offense, give me a break. And honestly is it really racist? I think it’s a fair question to ponder. Is there black privilege in Africa? I know south Africa have quotas in some areas like sport but I think it’s a fair question to think about.
Didn’t read this because Daily Mail.
Looks like I made the right choice from the comments.
I think the comments in question are pretty inconsequential to the matter at hand. In a world where you can be in an office environment one second and then in a domestic environment with family members the next with the click of a button at least some leway has to be made that accidents happen.
Still though the guy sounds a wee bit racist.
I’ve never been on a zoom call that has lasted more than about 5 seconds after the chair closes the meeting, so it would seem the session wasn’t actually finished when he started running his mouth. I think he rage quite but didn’t hang up. Plonker.
What word do you think is blanked out in the article “‘I couldn’t be a***** because I thought, “you know what”
