A MAN here has apparently been fired by his employer after he posted a video clip of a company dinner online.
This recent incident was revealed on Wednesday by the man's former colleague in the company, who wrote to Singapore Press Holdings' citizen-journalism website, Stomp.
The Stomp contributor wrote that his former colleague had taken videos of each department's performance at the company's annual dinner, and posted them on video-sharing website YouTube.
This upset some of the company's employees and the management fired the man, because he had 'breached the company's policy', the contributor said.
The contributor said: 'The action taken was too harsh and there was no such policy explicitly made known to all the employees beforehand.'
Professionals whom my paper spoke to on Wednesday agreed with the contributor.
Marketing executive Eliss Tan, 26, said: 'Granted, it is a company event, but it is also a social occasion. Unless he shot the videos with the intent to damage the subjects or the company, he does not deserve this.'
