Mobile phone company Vodafone has suspended two employees pending an investigation into a photo circulated online yesterday.
The photograph, on social networking site Twitter, appeared to show a text-based conversation between two shop workers using insulting language about a customer.
The photograph looks like it was taken from in front of a staff computer screen in a Vodafone shop. “The company takes the matter very seriously and has suspended two employees pending a full and immediate investigation,” a statement said. “Vodafone has a zero-tolerance approach to any behaviour that is outside of Vodafone’s rigorous code of conduct.”
