They were rude, nasty, disrespectful and never really did the work they were meant to do. They’ve been sacked with immediate effect and I’ll never see them again.

AIBU to secretly be glad that the arrogant knob has finally faced some consequences for their actions?!

You reacted though! I don’t even bother with replying if I think it’s pathetic. I think instead I hit a nerve with you.

Some people can handle confident people. Some are intimidated.

It's a discussion forum. "Hit a nerve with you" 😂more utter nonsense. So you identify with people like this? Very telling.

They were rude, nasty, disrespectful and never really did the work

It’s quite eye opening what attributes some people will insist are simply “confidence”.

Put your emoji button away. Then I’ll take your point a bit more seriously. At the minute I feel like I’m messaging my 16 year old dd.

It’s pretty spiteful tbh. Hold yourself to higher standards.

It would be nice if you cared about how this might affect their family, or considered there might well be reasons why they weren't as good/able to be as nice as other colleagues.

If they’re anything like the worst colleagues I’ve had then go for it and enjoy it. I have worked with some truly awful peopke who’d trample over their best mate to get a promotion or recognition.

No family, the reason they were sacked is because they’re an arrogant twat, to be honest! They treated everyone like crap

How do you know they were sacked, maybe they just walked. Not doing what you thought they should be doing…you might be wrong. Are these just malign rumours from management who have messed up and wish to portray this narrative and poisonous staff in the middle of a feeding frenzy. Rarely do you get the real facts but you’re clearly very happy with the facts presented to you. Did you play a part in this person’s perceived downfall?

No, I have no influence on these decisions at all. I knew they weren’t doing what they were told to as I had to pick up the pieces!

I'm over the moon two of my colleagues have been given the boot (food retail)

Sisters,(one the main manager and the other a manager) who would cover each other's backs if one made a mistake (and they made some serious ones,like a customer told them they where allergic to eggs so they 'accidentally' put eggs in their food and then laughed about it,while blaming someone who wasnt even in that day or shouting and swearing at staff within earshot of customers) and if anyone tried to say anything,they'd gang together and get rid of that person over the most minor thing (loads of my colleagues left because of them)

They couldn't speak normally,they screamed at everyone-you could hear them outside

Lazy was an understatement-and they blame everyone else for the not doing their work

They also hated me and wanted me out

As it was,back in may I pulled a nerve in my leg and was off work for almost 6 weeks,i was that bad,I couldn't walk for weeks

I came back before I should have done (I cannot live on sick pay) and handed in a doctor's note with a small list of tasks I couldn't do (things like 'can't carry heavy objects' or 'cannot climb stairs')

I handed the note to main manager (id printed it out like she demanded),who ripped it up and her exact words where 'i don't give a fuck about your note,you'll do as I tell you' and promptly sent me upstairs to lift heavy things

She refused to listen and both sisters screamed in my face when I refused

I ended up speaking to their boss who gave them a bollocking,so my card was marked but I didn't give a fuck and they knew it

Last week both where sacked as the main top bosses had such an avalanche of complaints from staff and customers alike about the pair of them,they couldn't ignore it any longer

A friend saw them in the jobcentre yesterday,screaming at the poor sod who was trying to help them

Cant say I feel too sorry for them

Why should the OP care about the family of this unpleasant person?

There is no acceptable reason for anyone to be a rude, nasty, disrespectful, arrogant twat at work.

My 80 year old mum also uses the laughing emoji.

Do you always do that? Compassionately consider whether there might be good reasons for it if someone acts like an arsehole to you? Reasons why they aren’t able to be nice?

Why, I don’t think she’s outed him.

Lol, what does ‘outing’ him have to do with being a bit OTT to tell the internet about it?
