A 23-year-old Royal Bank of Scotland debt officer but off sick was telephoned at home by her boss who announced the Telford office where she worked was to be closed and telling her she would have to take redundancy or, alternatively, relocate to Birmingham.
She then posted three messages on her Facebook page boasting how lucky she was to be able to take redundancy and the £6,000 payoff that went with it.
But one of her so-called friends reported her messages to the bank who promptly suspended her and later fired her for breaching what they called the company’s ‘declaration of secrecy’.
The young woman was, of course, extremely foolish to make such boasts on her Facebook page. On the other hand the bank would appear to have acted extremely harshly in dealing with a junior employee.
Especially when RBS are soon likely to be paying senior executives bonuses of such a size that six grand would seem to be mere loose change!
