An ex-colleague of STOMPer DT was sacked simply because he
posted a video of his company dinner online and the STOMPer
wondered if such treatment was fair.
“I just think that the action taken was too harsh and that there
is no explicit policy made known prior to this incident,” he wrote
in to STOMP.
In his iPhone contribution to STOMP, he wrote:
“Recently, we had an annual Dinner And Dance at work.
“One of my colleagues took a video of each department's performance
and posted the video on Youtube.
“When some of my colleagues found out, they were quite upset.
“The management found out and they sacked him immediately.
“The reason which was given was that he had breached the company’s
policy.
“I just think that the action taken was too harsh and there was no
such policy explicitly made known to all the employees
before.
“Is there no legal redress available for this poor guy? Can an
employer take action like this?”
