Ok then.
I'm incredibly greatful to all my friends and family who have been there for me through all the difficult times of my life. They'll never read this, but cheers guys.

As to karma- the office bully who recently threatened to stab the office weed was fired, immediately, without prejudice.

Why did he threaten to stab you?

What a cunt.
I often threaten to stab colleagues with scissors, smash their heads in with tables, etc. When my boss asked me recently why I made so many idle threats, I pointed out that this means if I ever did snap, and murder someone, he can't say I didn't warn him!

How can you be fired immediately without prejudice?

Gross misconduct?

Without prejudice to what?
The employee will have a field day at a tribunal for an instant dismissal with no hearing or right of appeal. Sounds like 'The Luggage' has cobbled together statements that he's heard and has regurgitated it on an internet message board as 'Gospel'. Who'd have thought that eh, another clueless wanker on the internet.

A quick google tells me that "An employee may be terminated without prejudice, meaning the fired employee may be rehired readily for the same or a similar job in the future."
This doesn't seem appropriate for sacking someone who physically threatened another member of staff...

Unless they are a boxer

I don't see how dogs can threaten to stab people.

Guns don't kill people, boxers do

'A quick google' = talking out of your arse
A bilateral agreement to end a contract of employment, subject to the possibility of a further contract on the whim of an employer doesn't really cover being sacked with immediate effect does it.

Well, I simply copied and pasted that note from above.
However, 'when a lawsuit is dismissed without prejudice, it signifies that none of the rights or privileges of the individual involved are considered to be lost or waived', so I would assume that dismissal without prejudice goes down the same lines.

Also, notice that I agreed that this seems inappropriate.

Fuck's sakes, taking the internet far too seriously you are.
I wasn't involved, just a witness, and the guy who was fired was in fact a temp. Sorry for the lack of clarification.
