Unhappy Army apologises over email job losses

Unbelievable, made redundant via email
BBC News - Army job loss e-mails: Soldiers get apology

my favourite quote...
"And to be dumped by e-mail - it's the sort of thing you might expect from a playground romance, not a 22-year contract with Her Majesty's armed forces."

It's quite funny how they can get away with stuff like this.

If an employer where to do something like this im sure they could be had?

Cannot understand that you would send an email to someone who has given this country so many years. Hope the sender is looking for a new job themselves.

The thing that really makes this story even worse is they said it was send by accident

How can you send an email firing people by accident?
