Just been sacked for 'having opinions', I could understand this if my opinion was that the company is shit and the guys a royal **** and I was open about it, but it wasn't. My opinion was that there was no need for me to wear a waterproof coat on a hot, sunny Saturday morning.

This was an incident last week where he was telling me I should be wearing a waterproof coat in order to set an example for the kids in the session, now if it was raining, windy, snowing or cold in any way I would wear it but it was a hot sunny day and I told him that I didnt wear it for that reason and if there were any weather conditions where a coat would be necessary I would wear it.

Am I wrong in thinking that that wouldnt normally be a sackable offence as the conversation I had with him was in private after all session had ended and we were packing equipment away ?

your entitled to have opinions, its free speech. but unfortunatley, your boss is intitled to have opinions. at then end of the day what he says goes and thats final but i don't think your in the wrong and the sacking was a bit harsh.
 
Thats the worst reason in world to be sacked for. IF I was you I would bring a case against them about this.
Compared to your case I got away with murder during my time in my last job. Calling a girl Miss Piggy she was a fat piece of shit for throwing a cig butt on the ground after I cleaned up the area. Brought the cig butt back to her table and said Miss Piggy you forgot to put that in the bin. She claimed I was calling her FAT but I claimed that in this case it is Piggy Dirty. I got away with it so I thought.

Then 3 months later I was made redundant or sacked. I cant prove they sacked me over this or not and was advised to just walk away. Keep your head high you done no wrong in my eyes. I hope you get this sorted out.

Christmas soon.

Grimmest post ever.


Sadly he's right though , isn't he?

But any boss worth his salt would value the opinions of his employees ..... and some would even act on them ...... nobody can be right all of the time.

No matter what Simon Cowell says!
