Sacked for loyal service
“One minute they were giving me a lovely speech telling me what a valued member of the team I was, how loyal, hard-working and flexible I am and how much I’ve achieved in my 25 years of employment.“And the next they were announcing redundancies with my name on the list. It’s a disgrace.” Shirley, a grandmother with two grown-up children, worked for Hilding Anders UK which owns the Slumberland bedding brand.
The firm’s motto is: “All the support you need — all the comfort you deserve.”
OK… I’ve heard of the left hand not knowing what the right is doing. But to do the gold watch and pink slip bit on the same day? That…. sucks.
