"You're constructively fired"! - Apprentice winner : Tue Mar 05, 2013 7:14 pm  

In a delicious piece of irony, Apprentice winner Stella English is taking Lord Sugar to the tribunal, claiming constructive dismissal. She said her boss Bordan Tkachuk looked at her with "contempt" on her first day and said: "There is no job." According to her evidence, she was just an overpaid lackey, and the promised top job with Shugsy that she'd dreamed of was actually just smoke and mirrors. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-21673051 The case continues, but I've withdrawn my application for the next series.

I can think of one or two things Stella could do for me. Bordan lacks vision is all.

I can't believe she has the neck to bring this one to tribunal.

I thought this was news a couple of years ago?

A small price to pay if justice is to be done

Problem is people can often struggle to move on so whilst in the end they may get justice the rest of their life is in a state of flux.

This is where my "Rule of Life #20" comes into play - Don't feed the lawyers.

Seriously, just walk away, shoite happens, so you won a TV show where you were promised one years employment at £100,000 but you had to do nothing at all for the money except file some letters - have a look at the queue at the door as you leave the building, all of those people are waiting for your £100k filing job you silly b1tch.

Having earned £82,000 at an investment bank before she went on the telly it shoudln't be too hard for her to climb back on the horse and think of her easy 12 months at Mr Sugar's TV Production Company's expense.
