I have been suspended from work today.

I'm Back......

Well. Where do I begin?

Ok on Friday, my boss told me about a video of a C.Ronaldo press interview from a Champions league from whatever year. The one where CR walked out of. Anyway this video was in Spanish/Portuguese and the subtitles were in English but completely different such as saying he was out with the Icelandic team for a drink and he took coke etc. Very funny video actually.

Anyway. The prompted me to look at some of the Bruno Gantz (sp) Hitler videos on Youtube, you know the ones. :P

Anyway, I downloaded the original German none subtitled clip and proceeded to add subtitles to it using 4 friends from work who I have know and had "bantz" with over the years, I mean serious **** taking bantz. Give and take that sort of thing. So I did a similar thing using the actors as my friends. Tagged the only people in it and not friends of friends, yeah I know it can be shown to others, hey ho. So only the ones used. Got replies saying how funny it was (it was very funny) from all those tagged apart from two.

The two took offence and here we are.

Still suspended on pay while further investigation is done.

Granted, probably a silly thing to do but I would not have thought these two people would have made a fuss over it. My Boss ****ed himself at the video and he feels the same way as others do. With staff moral at all time low, it was done in jest to give us something to laugh at and talk about it.

Yeah silly me.

The reason the two took offence is a little petty considering other staff members (inc managers), in front of management at various times had said the same things and the 'victim' so to speak laughed with them and not just out of blending in, actual belly laughs.

Anyway, extra paid holiday for me.:)

CV updated, cover letter done for a position in a local pub restaurant. I know the manager and had a chat earlier before the meeting. Pretty much mine just got to hand in CV and letter.

Right a fish supper for us tonight. :)
 
yikes, sounds like some people get butthurt* too easily, getting out of there sounds like a good plan :)


*we're allowed to use that word still outside of the context of brexit right?
 
Urgh... so basically a bit of fun gone wrong, I had a feeling it might be some sort of silly video or image being viewed on social media or youtube, being seen by the wrong person and it all getting out of hand..

Some places are so petty nowadays, it's almost as though people have lost the ability to differentiate between "a bit of a harmless laugh" vs "actual discrimination/nastiness"

Get out of there, and good luck with the other position :)
 
So you've been suspended for an incident that occurred when you were not even in the building?

Been writing naughty things about people at work on social media or anything like that?

Called it!

What a load of crap!
 
I'm confused, did you do this on work PC, or in work time?

If not, why should a comedy video you posted on your own social media wall affect your job?

I don't really understand.

Because it involves colleagues and by the sounds of it has been viewed by some in work time that's all it takes.

Is it safe to post here and if not can we have a link to it so we can be judge and jury?
