Bizarre!!! Man fired by text message for ‘liking’ a picture of a jumper

A British man has been taught to think before he clicks after he was fired from his job for casually liking a co-worker’s Facebook photo.

Resemblance: Replica of the the Jacket liked by Tory Garrod

Troy Garrod, 27, was shocked to discover the British wholesaler he had worked at for four years, Bertram Books, sacked him three days after he hit the ‘like’ button on a bizarre photo of a jumper with wolves printed on the fabric, The Mirror reports.

And to add insult to injury, the Englishman was delivered the sour news via text message.
Mr Garrod had thought nothing of his ‘like’, which 70 other people had already done, believing he was just joining in some harmless banter

The image, snapped inside one of the company’s warehouses, was uploaded by a female ex-colleague with a caption that mocked the jumper: “OMG I’m f--king crying ... I’m sure there’s a wolf fleece appreciation page pahahaha”.
Mr Garrod was told by his employer that he “bullied” the jumper’s owner by ‘liking’ the “inappropriate” photo.

But he insists he did not really understand what the picture was about — let alone who owned the sweater.
Mr Garrod said he felt “hurt and angry” and said his former co-workers believed the response by the firm was “ridiculous”.
“I didn’t know what the photo meant but everyone else who worked there was liking it so I just joined in. When I received the text saying I’d been sacked I couldn’t believe it,” he said.
