27 year old Troy Garrod, was sacked from the job he held for over four
years after he clicked the ‘like’ button on a Facebook picture. He said
he was relaxing at home when he noticed a colleague had uploaded photo
of a jumper with five wolves printed on the back. Along with over 70
other people he ‘liked’ the bizarre picture and thought nothing more of
it.
But just days later he received a text informing him that he had been sacked from his job at the UK’s leading book wholesaler.
Troy said: “I didn’t know what the photo meant but everyone else who worked there was liking it so I just joined in. When I received the text saying I’d been sacked I couldn’t believe it.
“I felt really hurt and angry and all my former colleagues think what happened is ridiculous."
