TWITTER USER @CELLA_ was about to start work at a pizza restaurant.
She wasn’t happy about it, so she tweeted this:
There was just one problem. Her boss-to-be – who hadn’t posted a tweet for six years previously – saw it.
This was his response.
Aaaand she confirmed it.
The exchange immediately took off. So far, Waple’s post has been retweeted almost 4,000 times.
This pretty much sums up Twitter’s amazed reaction:
A number of people questioned whether Waple actually had the power to fire her, or whether his account was real. His response was unequivocal.
So what was the job that Cella was missing out on?
He seems pretty happy that he’s done his job, and doesn’t have to use Twitter ever again.

Good for him, she’s clearly a total idiot!
What a brat.
If some of the tweets in this article aren’t showing up correctly, try refreshing the app. There are gremlins in the internet machine. Thanks!
Now it’s working. Thanks
I saw it on facebook today! He tweeted her saying something like ‘aaand actually you are not. You are fired. Enjoy your no job and no money’
Yeah, we read it above. Thanks though.
Always one…..
The domino effect of one’s actions.
Four stars to the manager though…
Oh that It was so easy to fire the dross here.
But it is that easy here. Unless they base the dismissal on one a handful of discriminatory positions (one of is which is not public stupidity), an employer can let a new hire go with zero fuss. Unfair Dismissals (which this is not) doesn’t even kick in for a year.
Gremlins must be deleting comments too
She definitely deserved that!
I want pizza now.
That’s one way out of not working.
Byyys , just because it was on another news site does that mean it shouldn’t be the journal ? ?
Ok guys my comment was for byyys but his comment was deleted .
Thought it was the new leet speak for ‘boys’ and that you were actually mental, so you’ve redeemed yourself ;)
Brilliants
To think you can oversee the beating and humiliation of venerable people in the HSE and get a promotion!! Mad mad world
Dafuq are you on about?
Ben you’re either on the wrong article or you’re just nuts, ooorrrr…. you could b just stoned
The boss taking things bit too seriously, pizza job,not running country
I see that you don’t have a business or never hyeld a managerial position in your life
No one deserves to lose job over a comment like that,for jaysus sake we,d all have been sacked long ago
they absolutely do, you should show respect for your employer at all time, that is your purpose
Your purpose?? Are you a troll or just an A##hole in general. Every single article you weight in with your BS. Slavery is long gone. Jesus Fox news threads have more intelligence than this crap!.
If you were heard complaining about your job to your real life friends in public I don’t believe you could legally be dismissed over that. Don’t see how a tweet should be any different.
Just goes to show social media as it stands isn’t good for much beyond spying on people.
Publicity stunt maybe….
What a pr1ck,fire girl for this
employees need to know their place, delighted :D
Can he really fire her for that ? Yes, she’s a total tw@t, but surely this isn’t reason enough for dismissal. I could be totally wrong though.
You’re pretty much totally wrong pal :)
Ahh th exuberance of youth. Thank god I didn’t have twitter when I was young an starting work through a line of really f…. ass jobs. I’d of b fired every other week.
Get a hair cut
What a moron,she was management material
Should have used yik yak!
why do both those twitter accounts show no previous tweets?
I feel sorry for the girl. It is not the most enjoyable job now is it?
If she did her work alright and kept time, clean, polite and all that there was nothing to fire her for.
Aren’t people supposed to have a verbal warning, then written and then be fired?
If she was not quite right then give her a chance.
Spot on shock
have your say
