Wrongful Dismissal

Got a joke too good to keep to yourself? This is where to put it. While all the other Campfires are expected to be reasonably 'serious' in nature, this is where we let our hair down.

Wrongful Dismissal

#1 Post by greybeard » Fri Apr 18, 2014 4:43 pm

An Emergency Call Centre worker in London has been dismissed from her job, much to the dismay of colleagues, who are reportedly unhappy with her treatment.

It seems a male caller dialled 911 from a mobile phone stating, “I am depressed and lying here on a railway track for the train so I can finally meet Allah.”

Apparently, “Remain calm and stay on the line,” was not considered to be an appropriate or correct response.
"And you must not stick for a groat or twelvepence more than another man would give, if it be a good bow.
For a good bow twice paid for, is better than an ill bow once broken.
[Ascham]
