POSTED 3 YEARS AGO

Be careful what you post on your Facebook, kiddies. 16 year old Kimberley Swann was just canned from her job after calling it 'boring' on Facebook. The teen worked as an administrator at Ivell Marketing and Logistics in Clacton, Essex.


Although she claims she never used the company name and was happy in the job, her statements to Sky News suggest otherwise.

    "They were just being nosey, going through everything. I think it is really sad, it makes them look stupid that they are going to be so petty," she said.

Just keep digging yourself deeper, Kimberley!

Her boss Steve Ivell says they were not in fact, snooping. The reason Kimberley was fired was not just posting the condescending comments, but inviting other staff members to read them.

    "Had Miss Swann put up a poster on the staff noticeboard making the same comments and invited other staff to read it there would have been the same result," he explained.

    "Her display of disrespect and dissatisfaction undermined the relationship and made (her job) untenable," Mr Ivell said.

What do you think, were they justified in their actions or should they be less sensitive?

All the people saying "that's dumb" can I ask, did you actually read the entire story?

If so you'd see that she was inviting co-workers to read her comments.

Harley Davidson Fan

In some ways it is justifiable to do that (esp. if people know what company you work for), as you'd just be disrespecting the name. If you don't like your job and think it's boring, get the hell out, to be fair.

That is really stupid. Most people think that their jobs are boring. As long as she was doing her job and gettin task done it shouldn't had been a problem. I find it so silly that her boss fired her. Owell now the company looks really dumb.

Harley Davidson Fan

POSTED 3 YEARS AGO

I must add why i say it's justifiable. It's because if you don't apppreciate what you have then it will be taken away from you. Someone else then can have what you yourself lost, as it's nobody elses fault why you lost what you had. It's all about company respect also, and what company you work for too. If i said that about my job at my bank and people found out there's no doubt i'd be sacked, as it's a well known massive plc company. You need to remember to respect what you have otherwise these things then don't need to happen.

FACE THE TRUTH: Everyone, unless its your DREAM job, gets tired and bored of their job every once and a while. AND, Facebook and these other community sites are meant to vent out your feelings, and having your friends read them is normal. Besides, how can you help it if your coworkers read your status message or something?

That company needs to be reformed; Be less sensitive, and as long as the job gets done, with an ample amount of efficency, WHO CARES WHAT YOUR EMPLOYEES THINK!?

I believe a warning should have been issued to her - stating that these comments were disrespectful and kindly ask her to take them down. If she didn't then I believe they should have taken her job away. Understand, that this is a professional situation - and if she choose to be unprofessional about it all that's one thing, but the company could have went about the whole thing without drawing attention to it by firing her. They were just making a statement that they are looking and will look. Very snoopish and snobish. She should get a better job where her boss's arn't disrespectful toward her freedom of speech:)

The girl is 16 years old. Its practically a given that shes not gonna be doing something she enjoys. In other words, her boss is an idiot.

why would they fire her for just saying that her job is boring? even if she shared it with the whole world does it really matter? there are a bunch of people who absolutely detest their jobs and they never get fired. who never says their job is boring once in a while??

she shouldnt get fired

-also the company is REALLY stalkkerish then. who would add their company as a friend on facebook? or what company would purposely go on an employee's facebook to find that stuff?...

-secondly, the people who fired her CANT say that they find their job fun 24/7 of every year. At some point in EVERYONES lives, they find their job boring. That doesnt mean they dont want to keep it.

The thing is, in an economy as weak as ours, there are plenty of people who would love to have her job. If she can't respect her employer and just be grateful instead of running her mouth (or fingers) then yeah, that's what she gets.

i think absurd. i mean, maybe if she insulted the company or her boss or something, but calling it boring? that's hardly something to get fired for.

Liz [[IxD]]

well, it says that she also told coworkers to read it. she's 16, a job is boring at that age...she should be more careful with her words, but getting fired is a bit extreme.

HAHAH, IF SHE GOT FIRED FOR SAYING HER JOB IS BORING, THEN THE TEENS THAT SAY SCHOOL IS BORING MIDE AS WELL GET SUSPENDED, OR EVEN EXPELLED.

blueeyedsoulchild

POSTED 3 YEARS AGO

so what she said her job was boring. I think my boss has read much worse on my MySpace page about what I think of mine. If the term boring was libelous or slanderous in some way to either the company or her co-workers then I would understand her getting fired. but saying something is boring wouldn't cut into their profit margins so I don't get it...

Tammycakes

I think that she obviously must have said something worse than just "boring," because otherwise, the boss had NO right to fire her for stating her simple opinion...-_-

i don't know what to say. whether or not she says/posts/thinks her job is boring, if she's doing the work that she's supposed to be doing, i'd keep a staff member like her! ...unless she gets carried away, talking trash about my company. (just saying..IF i had my own company lol.)

OK so im pretty sure everyone who works right about now thinks that they're job is boring because most of those people are not doing what they love or dont know what it is, and people can be picky with what jobs they take, who gives a shit if she thinks its boring, is she doing her job properly and what her downfalls are what they should be focusing on.
god people make me so mad, how are we suppose to make something of ourselves when these d-bags can just fire you at any given moment for the dumbest of reasons.

Actually, it's not all that stupid when you apply for a job sometimes they'll find you on myspace or places online and they won't hire you i think its a good way to pick out the weeds kinda, i mean i'm not saying its a good think but actually it's not really the stupidest things either. They probably were just greedy and didn't want to lose customers its kinda smart in a way.
