No joke, I read this while reading the news on my laptop this morning. This happened to a 21 year old female in London. According to her side of the story, she called in sick because she had a migraine. Here in the States, people call in quite often. Her boss said that he attempted to reach her several times but was unsuccessful. His last resort was to text msg her. He defended himself by saying, "Since this is a youth culture and oriented type of job, using text msg, in this case is acceptable." (Paraphrase.) My thoughts? This smells totally illegal! He should have waited until she came to work, pulled her aside in his office and the talked to her. It's called professional courtesy. If this happened in the United States I'm sure she'd have a case. What do you think?
