A TEENAGER was sacked for calling calling her job “boring” on a website.

Kimberley Swann, of Clacton, says she did nothing wrong when she wrote a Facebook status saying she was finding her work as an office administrator boring.

The 16-year-old's comment went unnoticed at the time, but several weeks later her boss found out about the old post, and she was fired.

She said: “I was told I would be escorted off the premises.

“I did not even put the company's name, I just put that my job was boring."

She was handed a letter on Monday morning telling her she was being sacked.

It said: “Following your comments about your job that and the company we feel it is better that, as you are not happy and do not enjoy your work, we end yout employment with Ivell Marketing & Logistics with immediate effect.”

Stephen Ivell, the owner of the company, based in Stephenson Road West, Clacton said: “We do everything by the book."
