A 21-year-old sales assistant (i.e. cashier - ed.) in England was fired by text message while she rested at home with a migraine. While the company calls itself "youth-oriented"and claimed they were merely trying to keep with the times and pop culture, the message that they sent was very Old Money boring, stating itself way to clearly for the texting crowd.
"We will not require your services anymore...Thank you for your time with us."
First, whoever had this idea is a genius, especially since the employee, Katy Tanner, had not answered multiple calls. We've learned that girls are fighting the use of a cell phone for anything other than a portable emailer, so we're happy that someone finally struck back.
However, we understand why she was angered by this. When we were fired, it happened to our face, which might not have been such a good idea by our boss if we had not still been drunk and unable to hit one of the three of him that kept moving back and forth in front of us. Not that that really happened. It just sounded funny.
