A man from UK was fired via an email from UK’s leading bool wholesaler. He was sacked after he liked a Facebook picture that was uploaded by his colleague.
The photograph was of a jersey that had the image of wolves printed on the back, with the caption: “OMG I’m f**king crying I’m sure there’s a wolf fleece appreciation page pahahaha”.
According to the reports, Troy said,“I didn’t know what the photo meant but everyone else who worked there was liking it so I just joined in. When I received the text saying I’d been sacked I couldn’t believe it.
“I felt really hurt and angry and all my former colleagues think what happened is ridiculous.”
“Being sacked by text and email is not right after four-and-a-half years of hard work. I put my heart and soul into that company and enjoyed going into work every day. It just seems so unfair that clicking the ‘like’ button has caused me so much trouble.”
“Over 70 people had liked the picture, so I just joined in thinking it was banter. Sadly I think people being sacked like this will become much more common”.
He continued, “When people go on their Facebook timeline they don’t view it professionally, you think it’s just your social time. I want to warn people to keep work and social divided on Facebook – be careful about befriending colleagues.”
