Time will tell but this looks like a classic case of someone winning a battle but losing the war.

This might not necessarily end well for Busta.

You can't just deliberately wind up your entire team and expect to get away with it. You also can't be daft enough to put the damn thing in writing and expect no consequences.

If I was the manager of that group it would be getting sorted out on the first day back and at least one person would be polishing their CV.

Which is why you'd never be allowed near a position of responsibility.

The state of this, I pity anyone that knows you.

I love folk that think you can just go belting about the workplace sacking folk [emoji23]

My thoughts, too.

Allowed? Who would stop me exactly given that I run my own company?

Folk like you getting taken to task by an employment lawyer is one of lifes finest pleasures.

When you run your own company you can pretty much do what you want.

Not really but carry on

No you can't. 

What field is your company in?

Sure you can. What is there to stop me from sacking a member of staff engaging in destructive behaviour which is listed as gross misconduct in their employment contract?

If I worked for you, I would destroy you, and enjoy it

[Guest Moomintroll]

Might want to do a proper robust investigation first m9.

Also, ensure that any decision taken is fair & consistent with any previous disciplinary decisions taken for similar breaches of Company Policy, Employment Lawyers love that one.

Imagine working for someone so thick, they struggle to use the multi-quote function.

Someone on here once described Nigel Pearson as "like Alan Partridge without the charm" and every time oaksoft posts I think about it.

[Jambomo]

I agree but we start with the fact that the member of staff concerned put their windup email in writing.
I would also weigh up the cost/benefits. There is absolutely no way I'd keep a destructive employee on the books. It would almost certainly cost way less to get rid of them even if I lost a tribunal.

You can’t sack someone for one instance of vaguely unprofessional conduct. Verbal/written warning territory at best.

I like oaksoft but he’s clearly been at the chocolate liqueurs.

I held back on my true feeling because your dog is exceptionally cute. 

You have a lot to thank that dog for.

It worked.

Raised the morale of the majority of employees no doubt, distracting them from the misery of working anti social hours.
