to think that Carla in Corrie should update her knowledge of employment law?

It really winds me up the way she sacks people left right and centre or threatens to sack them yet no one challenges her.

Haha! It's a sign of our times unfortunately. :(

Weeel, kind of.

If you've been in that employment for less than 2 years (as of April this year) or 1 year if your employment began before then, if you do get unfairly sacked there's nothing at all you can do about it.

Also, usually 'irretrievable breakdown of trust' is usually grounds for gross misconduct which is very difficult to disprove.

But she never seems to sit them down and discuss it or put it in writing....not that you ever see anyway. She goes off hearsay half the time. Makes for viewing figures I suppose!

I wish Eileen would stop bleating on about how she got sacked for going to a funeral.

No she didn't, she got sacked for walking out of her workplace, without clearing it with her boss, and spending the afternoon elsewhere.

That's an instant dismissal in my book.

Mike Baldwin was always doing that, sacking people for the most ridiculous, unlawful reasons. Then Ivy Tilsley would organise a strike and after a few hours he would re-instate said person and be begging them all back to work.
