You arrive to work to start the day, 'given the sack' and then escorted off the building.

You have an exemplary work record for a youngster, you are one of the few that do overtime without grumble, nothing is to much bother, you have great potential as a future leader, your face fits, you absolutely are the very last person really expected to leave.

No it's not me, you always think if you can change places with someone, this would be one of them times, just something I'm struggling to understand why.
Redundancies type of the can't no longer afford you's I always thought tended to happen more in mornings.

    What exactly did your employer say to you and what does any paperwork say?

    I wasn't aware that redundancies happened more often in the morning. Where did you get that idea from?

    If your face fits, you are seen as having huge potential, and you are the best one at offering up extra time etc., then you aren't dismissed without warning and escorted from the premises. The two things appear to be inconsistent.

    Please don't take this as a rude comment ....

    Maybe you only thought your face fitted - when in fact somebody higher up found you obnoxious/irritating/smug/arrogant?

    It might be that you couldn't see what the others did.

    Are you a quiet/confident/worker/plodder? Or the sort of noisy/over-confident type would might punch the air and Whoop when they thought they'd "won" a telephone disagreement... before updating your Facebook page with a quick "winner's update"?

    If all the 'face fits, huge potential' etc it accurate the only logical conclusion is that some major form of misconduct trumped all the good stuff. If the person has been employed for less than 2 years there's nothing they can do apart from politely request an explanation. In reality I suspect the person involved does know exactly why this happened and isn't letting on.

    I thought "No it's not me" made that pretty clear.

    Almost certainly there is more to this than the OP knows; no doubt all will become clear in time. As Sangie says, companies don't sack their best workers for no reason and keep on inferior people.

    It makes it slightly more clear but the OP doesn't really make it very clear.

    We can't tell him why a 'perfect' employee was sacked.

    The key is 'how long had this person been employed by this employer?' If less than 2 years, then there's nothing that can be done except to write asking for a reason and a decent reference. If more than 2 years, the answer to the thread title is 'automatically unfair'. Those with full employment rights are entitled to due process through a fair disciplinary procedure.
    I was a board guide here for many years, but have now resigned. Amicably, but I think it reflects very poorly on MSE that I have not even received an acknowledgement of my resignation! Poor show, MSE.

    This signature was changed on 6.4.22. This is an experiment to see if anyone from MSE picks up on this comment.

    To be fair, between"I'm posting for a friend" , "this is for my best friends second cousin on her father's side" and "i totally made this up", it's sometimes difficult to know what day it is on this forum, never mind who is asking what!

    "Automatically unfair" assuming the version is factually correct! We don't know anything other than their being escorted from the building - even the dismissal is not 100% clear. Could have been the outcome of a hearing yesterday. Could have been a suspension. Could have been a lot of things. I wouldn't assume anything other than there needing to be a lot more information. And even under two years, there are reasons it might be automatically unfair.

    If the OP is speculating about something that happened at work, then getting on with your own business is best. If a friend or whatever, then they need to post themselves with the correct information.
