This is a question The Boss

My chief at a large retail chain used to decide on head office redundancies by chanting "One potato, two potato" over the staff list. Tell us about your mad psycho bosses - collect your P45 on the way out.

Bruce Springsteen jokes = Ban, ridicule

Are you a contractor or a permanent employee?
If you're not a contractor, you have rights that trump any "we can fire you anytime we like" clauses in your contract of employment. I strongly suspect any such clause may be highly illegal.

A quick google tells me that even if you're on a fixed-term contract, you can't be forced to sign away your unfair dismissal rights.

Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer nor an expert in the field, so I'd strongly suggest a bit of research.

Yeah, there's a hell of a lot of issues with this bloke and the company in general.
Fortunately somebody just walked out and went to ACAS, and the entire company's in the process of having it's wrists slapped. I'll wait and see what happens and if the bullshit carries on I'll throw my own little wobbly...

Ta to everybody for the general encouragement - nice way finally join the B3ta ranks after months of lurking!
