Burger King Employee Fired For Bath In Utility Sink

Xinhua:

Posting a video of yourself taking a bath in a utility sink of the Burger King Corp. restaurant where you work on your MySpace page is a good way to lose your job.

Burger King spokeswoman Denise Wilson said earlier Tuesday that two employees involved in the incident were fired and a third quit.

That’s what happened to Timothy Tackett, 25, of Centerburg, Ohio, after the nearly 4-minute video to celebrate his birthday appeared online last Thursday. In the video, shot by another worker, Tackett refers to himself only as “Mr. Unstable” and appears to be naked.

Not only was Tackett fired, but also the employee who took the video and the restaurant’s shift manager.
