Re: Suspended for swearing at the DOM
not true, its still a possible outcome, you are normally suspended to protect the security of the mail or if there is a risk to another member of staff,1612890497 wrote:can't be sacked if they've let him carry on any type of work at all.

Update: The bloke had a disciplinary meeting last week, even though he was on official leave. He was told he'll have to wait around a week to find out what's going to happen. In the meantime he's been sent to a local office to work.
I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.
