Royal & Sun Alliance sacks ten over obscene emails
It looks like Royal & Sun Alliance has gone too far in sacking ten of its employees for circulating smutty Simpsons cartoon. Not only has the company lost some staff, it's also lost a potential customer in Paul Barclay:
I can't believe these poor people have lost their jobs over such a trivial matter. I for one will never use Sun Alliance as they have demonstrated they are a company with small minded individuals in high places. I hope others will see it this way and boycott companies who victimise their employees in this way.
To the barricades comrades!
