I’m glad that Iceland came to their senses in the last couple of weeks when Kerry Katona was reported snorting cocaine and sacked her from her £250,000 per year TV adverts.

I know I enjoy taking the piss with my job and like to flirt with danger, but when it comes to being a responsible role model it is abundantly clear that you cannot go around flaunting the rules and attempting to have your cake and eat it (not an Iceland Chocolate Gateau might I add).

Here Here to Iceland for finally strapping a pair on.  It’s just a pity half the nation would still do unspeakably dirty things to Katona -she’s bound to find money from somewhere.

Having had to endure the torment that is RealityTV since it’s “boom” from Big Brother I can hnestly say that I have not got a clue who Arlene Phillips is.  I am however slightly miffed that celebrity sacking seems to be the norm atm. (more…)

It really is an amazing world that we live in.  Whilst I am a strong believer in equality and religious toleration, I really do wonder how some things are still allowed.

I missed this story, but apparently a woman was sacked for kissing her boyfriend whilst at work in Turkey.  A Turkish court had to get involved over a kissing incident and have ruled that the woman in question be reinstated as no customers seen in.

Good job I don’t work in Turkey and even better job that the photocopier can’t talk about what I have done to it in the past

We all got drunk or addicted like a celebrity and didn’t get sacked??  We would all be committing the ultimate sackable offence.

Surely celebrities are in breach of contract somehwere along the line?  I don’t klnow about you but if I rocked up for work drunk constantly, I think I would be carted off to rehab as quickly as my boss could tear my contract up!

Sometimes I wish I had entered Big Brother when I had the chance – then again, I don’t have big fake boobs.

A few people are reading this blog now, and I am quite surprised by it.  We had some awesome stories on the last blog, but I had decided to hold back a bit on it.  Apparently those returning visitors want their old stuff back!

Essentially, Sackable Offence started off as a blog by 3 people who simply hated their jobs.  There was nothing worse than the 9-5 grind and the ever-living thought that your life was ticking away.  We concocted several ways to inject crude pranks into our daily worklife; Stuff that would surely result in unfair dismissal.  Whilst we were working on the blog, we decided that we should perhaps try out a few things – nothing short of gross misconduct.  Unfortunately the recession bit and we were unable to keep the blog up

Anyway, as I have mentioend, I am back at least, and I will be doing my up,ost to avoid having my contract terminated and fully holding employment.  In body I shall be employed, in my mind I shall be unemployed (at least I should be with the amount of sackable offences I can come up with).

If you have any ideas for this blog, then please do not hesitate to leave a comment below and let me know.  I might even write down that list soon
