A former contact roofer from Kent will be spending his weekend observing the KM Classifieds for a new profession after he was sacked from his old one last week, for slacking off to use the swimming pool.
Steven Fern, 24, was working for a London based construction company that cannot be named for legal reasons, just last week when he was working on building an extension at a property on Medway Wharf Road, Tonbridge.
He started work on the extension in early March and it was scheduled to be completed by the back-end of May. When this did not happen his boss demanded an explanation as to why the work was not completed.
Mr. Fern, of Maidstone, reportedly told his boss that he was bored of working on the extension and went "for a dip" in the swimming pool on the property. His employer was shocked to hear this and fired him immediately on the spot.
An amount of £10,000 was also deducted from Fern's final paycheck as compensation to the owners of the property for 1) their unfinished extension and 2) unauthorized use of their swimming pool. He will walk away with just £100.
