Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
Her claim for constructive dismissal was quashed.
She resigned from both jobs she was given by Sugar as part of her prize of £100k one year contract with his organisation.
Are we getting as litigious as the Americans? |

I was listening to Lord Sugar on the radio today and feel it's probably six of one etc.......
He sounded quite miffed that she had the temerity to follow her course of action after being 'babysat' by the BBC and his Lordship.
I'm sure more will come out in the next few days etc. |

I would be miffed in his shoes too. She resigned from one job and he offered her another and she resigned from that too. It cost him £100k (plus all the other employer contributions etc.) to have her there.
It is always difficult when people don't work out in a role but constructive dismissal? Not in my book. |

Quite apart from the constructive dismissal claim....does it actually cost Lord Sugar anything?
Does the BBC (licence payers) stump up for the winner's 'prize'? |

The ET will have cost him a lot.
I have met another winner a fair few times and he speaks of Lord Sugar as being encouraging, supportive and not wanting to carry dead wood. He wants the Apprentice winner to be a self-starter. He provides a role and some business objectives but they need to make something of that.
Stella English must be fairly confident she can get another £100k per annum role. Or maybe she let television "fame" go to her head? |

What is the ET? I'm not sure what the costs are for the Apprentice but I feel pretty sure Lord Sugar is not being philanthropical.

He's a businessman, and The Apprentice is business, not philanthropy. Given his well-established entrepreneurialism, it would be 'good business' for him to find a new rising star via a competitive environment like The Apprentice, who he can then place in a role which requires the same attributes the show is supposed to bring out in the winner over how ever many weeks it is on.
But, even the great Alan Sugar can make mistakes - that's business, after all. And in this particular case, what he contributed to the debacle is a lapse of judgement as to Ms English's capability and/or desire to succeed in the role created for her - not once, but twice. What she contributed was a near-spurious claim which was doomed to failure from the start as far as I can see. Constructive Dismissal after being given not one, but two roles? I think not. |
