Multiple temporary Wimbledon staff members have been fired for the most bizarre reasons according to a recent report from the Guardian.
In a piece published by the Guardian, several temporary Wimbledon staffers have complained about the event firing people for the most bizarre reasons. The piece details how the event allegedly hired too many people only realizing that they were overstaffed once the event had started.
Since then they been sacking temporary staff that mostly work in hospitality and housekeeping for the most bizarre reasons such as relaxing after their shift ended or using the toilet. At least three temporary workers are said to have lost their jobs for sitting on the hill with a drink after their shift had ended.
I think it’s reflective on the management here. They’re firing people left, right and centre. They’re basically overstaffed and they said there’s not enough fans here – not what they expected – so they’re having to fire people. People are being fired because they’re overstaffed and they’re using the fact that staff are watching tennis and drinking as an excuse.
Asked to comment abou the situation a spokesperson of the AELTC said:
“We value all of the staff who help us to deliver the Championships, they are crucial to staging this world-class event. We meet annually with each of our major contractors to agree the terms and conditions of employment, which are shared with all potential employees. We are delighted that many of our staff choose to return to work at Wimbledon year after year and help us to put on an incredible event.”
