    hat tip: Workplace Fairness

    U r sckd: worker fired by text message - Yahoo! News
    The retailer claims it tried to reach Tanner directly 'five or six times' and passed on a message through her boyfriend before the text was sent.

    And store director Ian Besbie added that the dismissal method was fair because texting was a part of 'youth culture'.

    'We are a youth business and our staff are all part of the youth culture that uses SMS (text) messaging as a major means of communication,' he said.
