Man learns casino losses not deductible
CLACTON, England, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- A 16-year-old British girl said she was fired from her office job after managers saw that she had branded her position "boring" on Facebook.
Kimberley Swann said she was called into her manager's office at Ivell Marketing & Logistics in Clacton, England, and given a letter stating that she was being fired from her job as an office administrator after she called the job "boring" on her Facebook page, The Daily Telegraph reported Thursday.
"Following your comments made on Facebook about your job and the company we feel it is better that, as you are not happy and do not enjoy your work we end your employment with Ivell Marketing & Logistics with immediate effect," the letter read.
"I did not even put the company's name, I just put that my job was boring. They were just being nosy, going through everything. I think it is really sad, it makes them look stupid that they are going to be so petty," Swann said.
