      Absolutely bonkers to me that 4 minutes of inactivity on your PC could lead to disciplinary actions.

      However, hard to argue with: “*I am not persuaded by the complainant that resignation was his only option*”. It’s not constructive dismissal.

      So the lad was getting a warning (i dont care what for or how stupid it was to be applied by the company) he then quit, he walked out and quit, so he wasnt fired, and expects a payout for it?

      Chancer.

      Absolutely nuts that they would record such minor transgressions over the course of seven years and use them as evidence of a pattern of behaviour. I bet not a single person in that office has a cleaner record than him, assuming this level of record keeping was applied to all staff equally

      60 seconds inactivity is work avoidance that’s a absolute joke tbh. Sounds like a horrible place to work to be fair..

      Wow. I will avoid a job with Ebay like the plague, and I’ll tell everyone I know to do the same.

      4 minutes of inactivity on the computer? Now I know what the purpose of “mouse jigglers” are I see on the Chinese shopping sites.

      Worked there for all of 6 months, and it’s a hell hole. I’d previously worked in a number of identical companies and eBay was by far the most miserable in terms of management.

      While it’s not constructive dismissal, I wouldn’t like to be that manager, Niamh Seoighe, whose name is out there attached to this forever. Probably not the publicity she wants.

      No money is worth these sort of jobs, absolutely slave labour. Squeezing every single last bit of juice out of employees, and then given them a disciplinary for not being there for 4 minutes.

      It’s absolutely peak middle management abuse, I mean what could have possibly happened in that 4 minutes that warranted a formal mark on his record? Stinks of someone just watching teams status and the second it goes yellow: “WHERE ARE YOU”.

      I’d have resigned on the spot too.

      Is it legal in Ireland for an employer to have spyware installed on your work computer? That’s a no go here in Germany unless they have negotiated a collective agreement with the employees.

      Like it or not, everything is tracked in these low level customer service/call centre type roles. He complained about 2 different managers and had a series of warnings for being late. He then quit over a warning.

      Obviously it’s a terrible place to work. But they won’t lose any WRC cases if they’re on top of everything.

      My place allows anything and then makes minor infractions big deals once someone isn’t in the good books. They have to pay nearly every dismissal a sum to just fuck off. They botched a sexual harassment case so badly that they paid an Operations manager 3 months wages to leave as they hadn’t done it correctly

      Still a bad place to work mind you.

      Fortunately, they’ve named the line manager so anyone googling their name can see exactly how pleasant a colleague they’ll be hiring.

      I worked for them for a year. Really to be avoided. They managed to make everything your fault and always punch down .

      As someone who worked in a call centre I’ve known plenty of people who take the piss and use codes to do personal stuff outside of their breaks, meaning the rest of us have to take more calls to make up for it, so it’s annoying from that side. I feel like there’s more to it than being reported though, clicking the wrong code shouldn’t be that big of a deal
