McDonald’s worker fired for blog post
p2pnet news view P2P:- A blog posted by a disgruntled employee at a McDonald’s in Sweden upset her supervisor, who fired her.
But that wasn’t where the problem ended.
The supervisor, Andreas Kenson (right), wrote about firing her on his Open: All content is public Fa$ebook page, says The Local.
” … just fired a girl who blogged really negatively about her workplace … not that smart to make up a bunch of stuff just to give friends a laugh … but now I’m chuckling in any case … =0) ) ” said his post, according to the story.
But Malin Ackholts, a representative for the hotel and restaurant workers union, “lashed out at the public airing of an internal personnel matter,” says The Local, quoting Ackholts as stating:
“It shows poor judgment. As an employer, one has laws and collective agreements that must be followed.”
Adds the story: “Magnus Pojen, owner of the four McDonald’s restaurants in Örebro, called the incident ‘tragic’.”
The woman who was fired “was a capable employee, but what she had written about her workplace was totally unacceptable,” the story has him saying.
