O/T:- Deserving of the sack?

[tied_up_in_notts]

When did "committing a criminal offence" become the sole grounds for getting the sack?

He hasn't

Its not really a question of whether or not he deserves the sack. What he did was always going to provoke a negative and defensive response from anyone associated with him and you reap what you sow. It's achieved nothing other than making his life much harder than it already was.

Sounds like a Pot & kettle situation . taken from Paradigm Precision Employee Reviews. Below is fairly typical

"New management taken over, no clue about the type of company we are, or work we do, trying to run it like a sweatshop production line. Everybody unhappy with new managers, especially when they’re bringing all their ‘boys’ with them from previous companies where they were also very disliked.
I have worked here for over ten years, previously been a decent company, I will now be looking for a new job "

That ‘scandal’ is so quintessentially Tory it would be easy to believe it’s made up. If you haven’t realised by now that the Conservative party is a vehicle for rich people to look after the interests of even richer people, YOU’RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.

Given that it involves a local MP, I’m surprised there’s not more on here upset about it. Must be still obsessed with Dianne Abbott.

Yes he should have been sacked as it would violate the terms of any employment contract and that is to not bring the company into disrepute.

However like many feel the whole BLM movement is now having the opposite effect to what it was intended as it's forced upon you at every opportunity, especially by the scummy press!!!

Referring to the entire media as 'the scummy press' is on a par with 'those rotten idiots who support Notts County'. Here we go again - shoot the messenger.
For what it's worth, I do not see how what a guy does in his own time and with his own money should endanger his employment if it has no connection with it.
Having said that, I agree with Queenie, that the only impact of his actions is on himself.
And yes, BLM, is now out of control and less effective for being so.

In what way is it ‘out of control’ Sid?
