You gonna sack yourself?

[Jimmy_041]

I still made it in and did an 11 hour day

I cant post why I sacked him/her but if I told you, you would go

Lets just say the final straw was: be careful what photos you put on Facebook - you never know who looks at it.....

I am not surprised that employers are taking a closer look at their employees, and prospective ones, facebook and myspace pages, they give you a fair idea of what is going on. Some people don't do things cleverly no arguments from me on that one. I won't be shocked with why you have sacked him/her i hear beauties every day.

*gets out pay advice and takes a look*

635 hours sick leave - about 16 weeks. Used to take an odd day as "family leave" to look after the kids, but not much on myself. Recall one day about 4 years ago thinking I need find myself a nice disease so I can use some of it up. Well that came back to bite me on the bum - 6 weeks off post op recovery removing a malignancy. Careful what you wish for!

Man hurt himself to 'avoid work'
An Aberdeen hotel cleaner who attacked himself with a boulder and a razor to avoid going to work has been fined £100 for wasting police time.

Steven Reid, 23, claimed he had been assaulted, but later admitted faking the attack because he wanted a day off, the city's sheriff court heard.

Sheriff Graeme Buchanan said it was a "pretty bizarre act".

Reid, who is now unemployed, later said that he should have asked his work for a day off instead.

Fiscal depute Jim Craigen said: "He was making his way to work and didn't really much fancy going.

"He therefore removed a razor from his pocket and repeatedly dragged it down his face.

"He also picked up a boulder and struck it off his head and repeatedly hit himself on the head and body."

Mr Craigen added: "He went to the police station and said he had been assaulted by two male persons who repeatedly punched and kicked him."

Defence solicitor Keidra Morrison said the first offender had been under stress.

After the case, Reid said: "I had a lot of family issues at the time and things just got on top of me.

"It was a stupid thing to do.

"Looking back, I should have just phoned work and asked them for the day off."

Reid said he later lost his job but was hopeful he would get back to work again soon.
