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

    There is an alternative interpretation

    the reverse of a breakup it's not you, it's me.


    ie. it can't be me I am perfect.

    "Automatically unfair" assuming the version is factually correct!

    We can only ever provide comment based on the version of events provided. If the person in question had been employed for over 2 years and was simply told they were sacked, without explanation, and marched out the door, then proper process has not been followed.

    The information provided is not that they were marched out the door without explanation to them, but that they were marched out the door without explanation to the OP. The OP doesn't know if the person in question was given an explanation.

    I agree, it is all speculative. It might even be that the employee has had previous warnings that no one else was aware of due to embarrassment. This is a 'how long is a piece of string' thread.

    Exemplary work for a youngster? Great potential as future leader? Only two possible explanations here, 1) they were sacked by a manager who feared their position was under threat 2) someone's husband/wife got jealous of this young paragon and forced their spouse to can him/her to deter any more mooning. I'm fairly confident both of these explanations are rubbish, but the OP has framed a question in such a way that it is impossible to give a sensible answer.

    I always thought that surprise redundancies were done last thing in the evening, so that the newly ex-employee has the opportunity to go to the pub and get drunk. Rather than have all day to sit at home and stew, and maybe return to the office with a sledgehammer while the working day is in full swing.

    Would failure to pass 'company probation' be handled in similar fashion?

    Thanks for the insights guys, I just felt gutted for the way I found out (someone just randomly said during my lunch break that they felt they should let me know, I saw TL's 4 hours before this and no one said a word, I'm sure what I said about it got repeated back anyway) but not half as bad was what the young lady must be feeling. The person seemed really good at their job. Suppose it just threw me and would have been easier to handle seeing an internal memo about it on walking in and starting the shift.

    It doesn't make sense, we're even more staff down now. I immediately worried as this was the senior that I went to with my rota problem when team leader above us both didn't put my holiday on rota that time, perhaps that might have had something to do with it, either way I see now should have gone to head of department and spoken up.

    I can't put exact details on here and trying to avoid doing so I think it's best just left here, just not experienced anything so strange.

    For all you know they tried to steal another employee's car. It's almost certainly nothing to do with your rotas. Forget about it. Either you will find out what happened in the course of time or you won't.

    I'm relatively confident that the reason that management didn't ask your opinion, or drop you an email letting you know about it, was because it is none of your business. And the lunch time gossip is something to avoid as well. You really only know about this third hand, which means that you not only don't know what happened, but you also don't know whether the gossip you have heard is correct. For all any of you know, the person had some really bad news and was being escorted out to support her. Whatever happened, surely people can find something better to talk about over lunch without making sure that absolutely everyone has heard their rumours? And, as you astutely observe, no doubt at least one gossip will be more than happy to help you be the next one to be escorted out by repeating your comments.

    Its also possible they handed in their notice to work for a competitor, being escorted of the premises can be common practice in some industries in this scenario.
