Is it right for a boss to fire an employer if he or she has newpapers or magazines on his or her desk?

misslabeled

Personal reading material generally tells the boss you're doing personal reading at your desk when you probably should be working. It also might have something to do with keeping your work area clear and uncluttered, etc. I can't really see an employer firing someone for that without having given them a warning first, but nonetheless and employer doesn't have to. You can be fired for wearing purple if they feel like it unless you are from an EEOC protected group. Last I heard purple-wearers were not protected. Nor were newspaper and magazine readers.

Unless you're a receptionist who has legitimate down time, the boss can fire you for consistently not working on company time. Read internet articles and Yahoo Answers instead ;)

Is it right for you to be reading magazines instead of working at the job your boss pays you to do?

fr_chuck

depends, are they 4 feet deep, is there a rule about no magazines on your desk, are you reading them when you are suppose to be working.

It is a good reason under the right set of reasons,

So alot more needs to be explained.

sealife8

if they have been asked repeatly to remove them and have not complied, then yes i feel it is ok. sometimes employees have to tow the line damn it. do what you're told even if you don't agree with it.

Lynda

Is this the whole story? Was there fair warning of the infraction? Is there a labor union which will help you appeal the action? Otherwise the reality is, you work at the will of your employer and can be fired.

With or without just cause makes a difference when you file for unemployment compensation, doesn't it.

Giff

Sounds a bit extreme.

redbone001

were you reading them?

powhound

depends

Franco

No it is not, and you have a case for unfair dismissal, unless you were in the habit of reading them during office time.

But as a first step, I suggest you speak to your boss and say you threw the papers away and ask him to please reconsider.

[Gone]

Depends on the job but I would say no.

yup its me

sue the **** out of him! he cant fire you for no reason! take him to court!!!
