Employee fired for blasting HR on Facebook over 'suicide' memo

A worker has been fired after refusing to apologise for a Facebook post in which called HR a “f***ing dog” over the sending of a company memo which he found insensitive – Daily Mail reports.

The Australian construction-industry worker, Ben Martin, was responding to a memo which said workers would be expected to continue working – just hours after a colleague committed suicide.

The memo read: “The site will remain open and employees will be expected to work… personal leave will not be granted without a doctor’s certificate.”

Martin, who has since deleted the post but has refused to apologise for it, said when the company asked him to explain his comments to them his employment was terminated.
