Cardiff - A shop assistant was sacked by text -- because her boss said it was “part of youth culture”.
Katy Tanner ,21 , had worked at Blue Banana clothes and body-piercing store in Cardiff for just eight weeks.
She was off sick with a migraine when manager, Alex Bartlett, texted her, saying her sales figures were too low. “We will not require your services any more. Thank you,” he said.
“It’s not right to just text someone. They should’ve talked to me face-to-face. It’s not professional,” said Katy.
But Blue Banana director Ian Besbie said, “Our staff is part of the youth culture that uses texts as a major means of communication. We’d rather have spoken in person but her phone was off.”

i would have texted back..fuckyou...
I'd have gone round and kicked the shit out of him in text format 3 kicks to the balls = F , two in the head = U ......
If it's anything like my mobile plan where I have to pay .10 cents per SMS ~~ Her having to PAY money to receive the SMS to fire her would just add insult to injury!! How RUDE! :-P
That would have just added insult to injury !
I have a weird pay as you go mobile phone, it's as cheap to SMS the USA 10p per text and sometimes cheaper to call there than some phones in the UK.
Thanks for the visit Deborah
