Thanks Alan, now reinstate this man before this hits the news
Exactly, well said Krem, I think the best thing so far was said by your good self...
J* managers have shot themselves in the foot on this one.... no matter what it says in the contract, its stupid for these mangers to go public and defend what really should be sorted out privately, with a strong reprimand, putting other techies on notice. Like all media stories, people forget unless it is brought to their attention again.
As I see it, legally J* may have a point, but morally J* managers sending a "termination email" and allegedly advising the world of their actions with a "bulk email" (Joe heard the news from a friend) comes over to the general public as below the belt, and only keeps the story alive and well. J* managers appear to have no idea about how the media works...
They have kicked an own goal.
