The issue is that they sacked 800 workers without [apparently] following proper procedures, whatever their reason for doing so.
Of course it isn't off-topic! It's the reason why P&O Ferries are taking this action, but as we all know, they are doing it the wrong way.

There are some on this forum who seem to think that as long as the parent company is profitable, the losses made by a business don't need to be addressed. That is naive in the extreme.

The question is, whose brilliant idea was it to disregard the law in this way and who thought that they could get away with it? I don't think anyone on here is defending the company on the actions they have taken. This will cost them dearly in the courts, and it didn't have to come to that.

I agree. Who would want to work for them now? This is a massive own goal.
