U r sckd: worker fired by text message

U r sckd: worker fired by text message - Yahoo! News

Katy Tanner, a 21-year-old sales assistant, received the message while she was off work with a migraine, the South Wales Echo newspaper said Friday.The text message said: “We will not require your services anymore…Thank you for your time with us.”

Wow, I wish there was a button I could push which said “follow this story as it continues” but there is not. Should she have been dismissed via. SMS? Well on the surface this does seem unfair, but if you read further they tried several other ways including leaving a message with her boyfriend. So she did not give them the courtesy of returning their calls? They simply used a form of communication they knew would get through and she would be forced to check. But, could she pursue some sort of legal action for being “improperly terminated”? Sure it sounds silly, but I wouldn’t be shocked.
