'Cowardly' | Boss sacks worker by email minutes after finishing shift together

A boss allegedly sacked a worker just minutes after saying goodbye to them at the end of their last shift.

In a viral Reddit post, which was picked up by Newsweek, the anonymous worker shared a screenshot of an email, notifying them of their dismissal from The Local Draught House, less than half an hour after they had last seen one another at the Florida based bar and restaurant.

"This is how my manager fired me, 20 minutes after I left my shift with him," the employee wrote before sharing the contents of the email.

The manager’s email notified the employee that they had “decided to terminate your employment” because their results “inability to hit deadlines” and failure to complete a food health & safety programme “just [didn’t] align with The Local.”
