An Apple employee has unfortunately been given the boot from the retail store he worked at in Norwich, England after his Facebook status was seen by bosses.
Samuel Crisp from the Norwich Apple Store has now been fired after one of his colleagues passed on the comments he’d made to the head of the store.
It appears Crisp had been having some problems regarding the iPhone’s alarm, in which it had randomly changed his timezone and woke him up at 3am.
He wrote: “F***ed up my time zone for the third time in a week and woke me up at 3am? JOY!!”
The tribunal said that such a comment could have had the potential to affect the companies clean image, so therefore the case went before a tribunal that ultimately ruled against Mr Crisp.
