Ha ha, how long has Sordell been with Bolton? And they've only just realised this week?

I once had an employee who was addicted to porn. I knew within 48 hours of him joining the company.

Didn't you mention that you caught said employee cracking one off in the loos or was that another of your industrial relations classics?

Yes, he was sacked for wanking in the bogs.

I think that was unfair dismissal- what someone does in the privacy of his own cubicle has nothing to do with management.

Just out of interest, what were you doing in there? Or do you have CCTV in the gents?

As many of you know I help run my father's advertising agency in Manchester. It's not a large company, 31 employees with a couple of temps. My Dad prefers the golf course these days so generally I'm left to run the place including hiring and firing. I have no problem with any of that, it's just business.

But today I have a dilemma that I've not seen or heard of before.

One of our (male) graphic designers was caught openly masturbating in the men's toilets by one of the female cleaners. Not in a stall but over a sink in plain view of anyone walking in.

So far no one else knows about this but I'm not quite sure what to do about it. Should I be letting people masturbate on my time? Is this not the same as sneaking into the bogs for a crafty fag or to make a personal call on a mobile...which are both disciplinary matters at our company.

What if a major client had decided to use the toilets just as this employee was ditching his load in the sink? That's a scary thought in so many ways.

There's nothing actually in peoples contracts about masterbating in public, but surely it's taken as a given that you don't w*** in public bogs on your employers time?

Should I just ignore it and perhaps put a big sign up outside the toilets saying 'NO WANKING' or should I treat this as I would smoking on the premises? Advice please.

Anyway, after at first saying he was dropping his threat of legal action, the wanker changed his mind and took my company to an Employment Tribunal, which ruled this morning on this important piece of legislation.

Unfortunately the Employment Tribunal has ruled against my company and said it is acceptable for employees to take wanking breaks if others are allowed breaks for a drink or a fag. If the company doesn't allow breaks, wanking is forbidden.

I am outraged at this outcome, it is quite ridiculous to say wanking in the bogs is the same as having a drink in the kitchen or a fag in the car park. I fully intend to appeal this decision, who wants to walk into the toilets to find three people wanking themselves silly?

Are you against wanking at work, or perhaps you are a participant?
