Website moan ends in sack

An Argos worker got sacked for criticising his bosses on a website.

Tom Beech, 20, was so fed-up after a bad day at work so he logged on to Facebook the social networking site and set up I Work At Argos And Can't Wait To Leave Because It's Sh**.

But his furious bosses found out half-an-hour later and told him to shut down his posting, which attracted just three people, reports The Sun.

Tom was suspended from his £6.55-an-hour job in Wokingham, Berkshire.

A disciplinary hearing later sacked him for gross misconduct.

Tom said: "I'm stunned they've fired me for this. I had a really bad day and was feeling overworked and under-paid.

"My mistake was to sound off on Facebook. I wish I'd moaned at a mate."

Tom plans to appeal and denied setting up a new group on Facebook called Argos Has Ruined My Life.

Argos confirmed Tom was sacked after "placing inappropriate entries on Facebook."

biggrin

I like the fact he was 'stunned', like he couldn't quite figure out why they'd go rid of him ?!
