00:00And you were fired by your employers. How were you told?

00:05They text messaged me.

00:08How did you feel about that? I mean, at the time, shocked?

00:11Yeah, quite shocked, a bit confused. Yeah, panicky. Yeah, slightly unorthodox.

00:18I thought that was a little bit unpersonal. Not, yeah, not great.

00:29Did they say to you why you were fired?

00:31Nope. It just said that, so I'm actually signed off at the moment.

00:35So it said that I hadn't given the Magnet Fitnote yet and that my P45 will be in the post.

00:43What will you do now?

00:47Panic mainly. Start looking for another job.
