Fired from bar-job for not charging staff full price of pints

Talk about being deluded, there is no way the guards would even get involved they be pretty annoyed with any manager or bar owner that presented such a case.

Its very easy to exaggerate on social media and use words like "thief", this case could and would not be proscutable, it woukd be seen as an internal business management problem.

The truth is if an employer called or wrote on a reference such an employee a thief he could be sued for slander or libel whichever as appropriate and would lose the case.

The WRC would also more than likely rule against the employer in this situation.

My own opinion is there was probably a personality clash here as well between the management and the young lad.

I seen this in the service sector where some highly intelligent and motivated college students can get under the skin of service managers or even owners who are older than them when they realise that these young workers will earn multiples of what ever they earn.

I remember hearing one quib a student gave to a teacher,( this lad was on the way to a 550 point leaving cert) and they had a bit of verbal and his reply to a put down was

"Well if the worst comes to the worst I can always become a teacher".

Duty managers and general managers can often be envious of such talent and get off on from sacking such an employee........or even making stupid statements like An Gardai getting involved.
