A mate at an ex employer of mine told me today that an ex employee was trying to get his old job back (not me 
) Here’s the basics.
Guy has left said firm three times. The third time he just didn’t turn in, dropped them right in it and inconvenienced a lot of people. The firm tried to contact him he wouldn’t answer any calls, texts etc. He later boasted he was off to do “proper driving” amongst other unbelievable stories (well known bs merchant).
They got an email from him recently not just asking for his old job back, but on condition he did no nights out. They ignored him.
Undeterred, he sent a director a similar email, saying he’d return on certain conditions etc. This email was not only ignored but was printed off and put up in a couple of mess rooms in a “not wanted” style poster. A message was attached saying “if you see him, tell him never.”
It sounds a funny appropriate response at first but on reflection, are they breaking any privacy laws by making it available to all and sundry?
I say fair game, not being nasty but he’d dropped me in the excrement when I was there.
I love it. Glad to see a sense of humour among management!
I’m sure someone will be along shortly who is dismayed, outraged, disgusted, on behalf of someone else, at this companies professionalism. There usually is 
Maybe Karma does exist? 
Ask him if he can be in 2am tomorrow morning, if he turns up, ask “what you doin’ here?”.
Disgraceful behaviour. Makes you wonder how long until they upload clips from the inward facing camera onto youtube.
Probably not the best response, but I think he may of learnt his lesson. Can only agree with F-red, nice to see the office has a sense of humour. Hopefully they took the steps of blanking the said persons email address out.

He used his parents email address.
He still lives at home with parents in the village. Known as the “Stinks Effect” for obvious reasons.
Same driver has just quit Wincanton milk tankers after less than a week. The reason he told an ex colleague was “the sloshing around of the milk made him seasick.”
With his endless bs stories he’s surely got a career on the agencies? He already smells, lives in a village with his parents, likes fishing etc.
Leave a company properly with due notice, work notice as required in good humour and you leave a bridge still standing…if you get a leaving interview come up with some ■■■■■■■■ about shifts/hours/work not being compatible with your current situation at home, hell tell the sods anything that could change to suit if needs be, but leave on good terms, you never know what the future might bring, you might be ■■■■ glad to go back in 5 or 15 years, and you still have a good reference, which might not matter where the money’s crap but you do need references for the best jobs.
Drop 'em in the crap and you might as well slop a jerry can of petrol on the bridge and sling a few flaring swan vestas on, they aint going to put themselves up for that again.
Why can some not get this.
Not too sure about the email being posted in the mess rooms, its obvious the bloke is a sandwich short of a picnic, so is it really on to poke fun at someone not all there, i dunno.

I did just that when I left there Judders, both times in fact. First time was a nagging back injury but I said I would go back if it healed or the job became easier. The second time was a combination of my back starting to niggle, wife being pregnant (I didn’t fancy sleepless nights 4am starts with a possible 15 hr day) and my current job being too cushy to turn down.
