Ok, so I'll stop double posting when Casey stops posting such excellent stuff in HIS blog...
This is off the friggen hook.
Nothing says '21st Century' like e-pink slips. A jewelry shop in Cardiff, England sacked an employee at home with a migraine. With a text message.
Katy Tanner thinks they should have told her to her face; the company defends that it tried repeatedly to contact her, including through her boyfriend. Wow. Way to put him in hot water...
The message itself was not abbreviated: "We will not require your services anymore...Thank you for your time with us."
Ian Besbie, the store director, supplanted that texting was part of "youth culture". Wow. Again.
I know one or two people *cough* McCall! *cough* that live to text-message, but this is ridiculous.
Wow.
Holy Crap. Like I told Casey, this is both unbelievably heinous and ridiculously incredible. We have almost certainly hit the ceiling with this one. If I was doing this Colbert-style, I think this would have to get BOTH a 'Wag of the Finger' and a 'Tip of the Hat'.
