It’s ok to tell the boss to get F…..

Thursday, 14 June 2012 09:33

FAIR Work Australia has ordered the reinstatement of an employee who was sacked for telling his boss to "get f ... ed".

A Security guard Craig Symes was sacked from Linfox Armaguard last year after he told his manager to get f ... ed, complained about the "f ... ing roster" and then aggressively poked a notice board - all while carrying a loaded gun.

Symes, had worked with the Brisbane firm since 2000, cracked during a monthly meeting last December after having a fight with his wife before work. "He was frustrated with his wife and, in hindsight, should not have come (to the meeting)," FWA heard.

He abused manager Aryn Hala after being assigned to a faulty armoured van and stormed out.

Symes later apologised in writing but was sacked the next day.

Hmm we all have bad days and sometimes we’d like to tell the boss where to go,as I pointed out in yesterdays blog about swearing its seems more common then we think. But does that make it right?

As Sue of Mittagong mentioned to me yesterday

“when people drag themselves into the gutter with foul language, doesn’t mean we should go down there with them “

Others mentioned

“As a result of listening to the do gooders years ago when discipline was removed from schools, I wonder where it will all end ? ”

“The bad language, is a sign that they have no positive social skills.”
