28 May 08 Proper Firing Etiquette – Not Via SMS!

All this talk about cell phones, smartphones, upgrades and updates, cool programs and firmware bugs, new releases and leaked photo doesn’t always do us that good. Last week an 18 years old boy died in London after an argument related to a stolen cell phone. That boy played a role in the last Harry Potter.

But I am here to tell you that no matter how busy you are and no matter what fast SMS software you would like to use, never ever go firing someone via SMS. They might get depressed, commit suicide and then sue you for all you have.

Tony Cecere was fired via SMS. That is simply rude! And he was asked to bring the work car back. That’s really rude! A day after all this happened he committed suicide. Apparently he was suffering from some mental affection but his wife said it was this SMS that got him to act that way. His family are to receive $300,000 as damages from the Union, as sentenced recently in court.

It makes me said to get these news in! Sometimes the silly use of technology can have unforeseen consequences. Be careful what you you use your cell phone for!
