Another day, another staff member with access to their company’s official Twitter feed and a gripe to air.

This time it’s a head chef at Oxfordshire pub The Plough who let all of its 2,000 followers on the site know he had been sacked.

‘Unfortunately he wanted to have a weekend off this month and Christmas Day this year for family commitments so we thought we’d sack him,’ the mocking revelations began.

@LeKeg1 it's my daughters first Christmas. I wouldn't miss that for ANYTHING. — Jim Knight (@chefjimknight) December 15, 2013

The employee, believed to be Jim Knight, 28, poured scorn on the timing of his dismissal, adding: ‘Yeah a week before Christmas!


‘We don’t care that he has a 7 1/2 month old baby daughter.’



On his personal Twitter account he explained he did not hack the pub’s account but had created it himself with permission from his now ex-employers.

His series of messages to the world using the pub’s page have been retweeted hundreds of times and this morning he simply said: ‘Blimey.’

I have very kindly been offered a serious job offer directly off the back of this twitter storm. More info to follow x — Jim Knight (@chefjimknight) December 16, 2013

He later tweeted that he had received a new job offer on the back of the tweets.
