Employees Fired By Text Message Get
Compensation
12/11/2003 02:31 PMBack in June, we wrote about a UK company that had run out of money,
and their advisors from PriceWaterhouseCoopers had decided that the
most cost efficient way of letting the staff know was to
send
them all a text message on their phones telling them they had been
fired and wouldn't be paid any money owed to them. Apparently,
soon after that, the former head of the company was seen "sunning
himself at his luxury villa in Spain." How nice. A small group of
the fired employees have taken their claims against the company to an
employment tribunal
and won
compensation, as the panel found that the staff had been
"cynically manipulated". Of course, now, all the other employees are
likely to file cases as well.

ing news being spread around by SMS text messages, as many people

Since I was cursed with stubby fingers, texting's always
been a pain. So you can be sure I'll be scrambling to land one of the
first SCH-a890s, equipped with voice-recognition technology. Still, I
guess I shouldn't get too excited--so-called QuickPhrase only
recognizes a list of pre-programmed sayings, like "Will call you
later." But I'm guessing it won't take long for them to offer firmware
upgrades that greatly expand the number of phrases. I give it 6 months
before the SCH-a890 can understand such SMS standbys as "Sorry, baby,
but I was out drinking with Rob and lost my house keys." If I had a
nickel for every time I've sent that note...
